William F Dougherty - Red Rain Keeps Plopping

2014-11-10 2

(W. C. Williams v. Wallace Stevens)


Too much
depends

on rubbing Plato's nose
in glazed materiality:

red wheel barrow,
white chickens in rain—
decals.

Plums, cold and sweet,
fat, plunked fatuities,
boink from the blue guitar.

A harmonium harrumphs,
wheezes and tweets
fictive Muzak.

William F Dougherty
