WCW: Collected Poems I
I will sing a
joyous song, an
idyl, they say
to me, an idyl.
I will sing a
joyous song,
immortal,
impromptu.
I will sing
a joyous song
in harbor, in
San Marco,
Venezia, in the
'Sconset Bus.
I will sing a
joyous song
in the inter-
ests of 1926.
I will sing a
joyous song, an
invitation to
we who live
in this flat
blue basin, an
invitation to
you who had
the sense to add
an invocation
& conclusion.
I will sing a
joyous song.
It is a living
coral, it is a
small plant.
Item. I will sing
a joyous song.

A line from Dr. John Dee
A peddler's cry on a chilly
Istanbul night—the weaving
calculator is back! Want to type
a backslash? Want to read the
value from a cube? Looking for
a definition of dead space in an
online Medical Dictionary? It's
a far cry from the flavorless
supermarket tomatoes typically
found this time of year. No air
drag, & a convenient portion
of banquette seating in the back
so the luminous fluxes can then
be calculated as the illumin-
ance decreases. Voting with
a fork can only get you so far.
