A Word About Words

A Word About Words

Always adequate,
Always measuring up (and
how quickly they
can become has-been

often laughable, even derisory).

Untie the words, you say,
loose them from their pain;
unite them in reason, one to another

till they follow like sheep
to the slaughter in their inadequacy.

The Washing of Dishes

The Washing of Dishes

When you are through
with
the washing of dishes

there is the
washing of dishes

and when you finish
the
washing of dishes

there is the
washing of dishes.

Find time to milk the cow.
And plow?
How?

Find time to make things rhyme.
Find time to be word-absurd,
soak head in bucket of water..
How?
I shall soak my head in a bucket of
slop; yes, I said poetry.
(Paint word-acrylics
and be embecilic. I said poetry.)

How?

When you are through
with
the washing of dishes

there is the
washing of dishes

and when you finish–
the
washing of dishes.
