It seems these poets have nothing	A
up their ample sleeves	B
they turn over so many cards so early	C
telling us before the first line	D
whether it is wet or dry	E
night or day the season the man is standing in	F
even how much he has had to drink	G
	-
Maybe it is autumn and he is looking at a sparrow	H
Maybe it is snowing on a town with a beautiful name	I
	-
Viewing Peonies at the Temple of Good Fortune	J
on a Cloudy Afternoon is one of Sun Tung Po's	B
Dipping Water from the River and Simmering Tea	C
is another one or just	K
On a Boat Awake at Night	L
	-
And Lu Yu takes the simple rice cake with	M
In a Boat on a Summer Evening	A
I Heard the Cry of a Waterbird	L
It Was Very Sad and Seemed To Be Saying	A
My Woman Is Cruel Moved I Wrote This Poem	N
	-
There is no iron turnstile to push against here	O
as with headings like Vortex on a String	A
The Horn of Neurosis or whatever	P
No confusingly inscribed welcome mat to puzzle over	P
	-
Instead I Walk Out on a Summer Morning	A
to the Sound of Birds and a Waterfall	Q
is a beaded curtain brushing over my shoulders	B
	-
And Ten Days of Spring Rain Have Kept Me Indoors	B
is a servant who shows me into the room	R
where a poet with a thin beard	L
is sitting on a mat with a jug of wine	D
whispering something about clouds and cold wind	L
about sickness and the loss of friends	B
	-
How easy he has made it for me to enter here	O
to sit down in a corner	P
cross my legs like his and listen	J
