9285. CONSTANTINE THE BEGGAR

CONSTANTINE THE BEGGAR
'One bag for each of the outings : panhandle
food and leftover crumb-cakes. I went to the
gypsy and that's what she said. No matter
and never mind, her candle was burning
both ends. I told her she should enter the
Emily Dickinson lookalike contest and
that I too was a seer and could see that
she would lose. Put your money on
those words and live forever.
-
Full moon or foul, either one of them
will get you caught in mystery : the
dark and leathery leaf of my companion
tree brings the frog up to fruition and
the lizard out to see. White moon, 
white moon, come out and be.'
