At last you're tired of this elderly world	A
	-
Shepherdess O Eiffel Tower this morning the bridges are bleating	B
	-
You're fed up living with antiquity	C
	-
Even the automobiles are antiques	D
Religion alone remains entirely new religion	E
Remains as simple as an airport hangar	F
	-
In all Europe only you O Christianism are not old	G
The most modem European Pope Pius X it's you	H
The windows watch and shame has sealed	I
The confessionals against you this morning	B
Flyers catalogs hoardings sing aloud	J
Here's poetry this morning and for prose you're reading the tabloids	K
Disposable paperbacks filled with crimes and police	L
Biographies of great men a thousand various titles	M
	-
I saw a pretty street this morning I forgot the name	N
New and cleanly it was the sun's clarion	E
Executives laborers exquisite stenographers	M
Criss cross Monday through Saturday four times daily	C
Three times every morning sirens groan	O
At the lunch hour a rabid bell barks	M
The lettering on the walls and billboards	M
the doorplates and posters twitters parakeet style	P
I love the swank of that street	Q
Situated in Paris between the rue Aumont Thieville and the avenue des Ternes	M
	-
Here's the young street and you're still a baby	C
Dressed by your mother in blue and white only	C
You're very pious and with your oldest friend Rene Dalize	M
Nothing is more fun than Masses and Litanies	M
	-
	-
It's nine o'clock the gaslight is low you leave your bed	R
You pray all night in the school chapel	S
Meanwhile an eternal adorable amethyst depth	T
Christ's flamboyant halo spins forever	F
Behold the beautiful lily of worship	U
Behold the red haired torch inextinguishable	S
Behold the pale son and scarlet of the dolorous Mother	F
Behold the tree forever tufted with prayer	V
Behold the double gallows honor and eternity	C
Behold the six pointed star	W
Behold the God who dies on Friday and rises on Sunday	X
Behold the Christ who flies higher than aviators	M
He holds the world's record for altitude	Y
	-
Christ pupil of the eye	Z
Twentieth pupil of the centuries knows its stuff	A2
And bird changed this century like Jesus climbs the sky	Z
Devils in the abyss look up to watch	B2
They say this century mimics Simon Magus in Judea	C2
It takes a thief to catch a thief they cry	Z
Angels flutter around the pretty trapeze act	D2
Icarus Enoch Elijah Apollonius of Tyana	O
Hover as close to the airplane as they can	O
Sometimes they give way to other men hauling the Eucharist	E2
Priests eternally climbing the elevating Host	F2
The plane descends at last its wings unfolded	G2
bursts into a million swallows	M
Full speed come the crows the owls and falcons	M
From Africa ibis storks flamingoes	M
The Roc bird famous with writers and poets	M
Glides Adam's skull the original head in its talons	M
The horizon screams an eagle pouncing	B
And from America there comes a hummingbird	H2
From China sinuous peehees	M
Who have only one wing and who fly in couples	M
And here's a dove immaculate spirit	I2
Escorted by lyre bird and shimmery peacock	B
	-
Phoenix the pyre the self resurrected	J2
Obscures everything ardently briefly with ash	K2
The sirens abandon their perilous channels	M
Each one singing more beautifully arrives	M
Everyone eagle Phoenix Chinese peehees	M
Eager to befriend a machine that flies	M
	-
You are walking in Paris alone inside a crowd	J
Herds of buses bellow and come too close	M
Love anguish clutches your throat	L2
You must never again be loved	M2
In the Dark Ages you would have entered a monastery	C
You are ashamed to overhear yourself praying	B
You laugh at yourself and the laughter crackles like hellfire	N2
The sparks gild the ground and background of your life	O2
Your life is a painting in a dark museum	P2
And sometimes you examine it closely	C
	-
You are walking in Paris the women are bloodsoaked	M2
It was and I have no wish to remember it was the end of beauty	M2
	-
In Chartres from her entourage of flames Our Lady beamed at me	M2
The blood of your Sacred Heart drenched me in Montmartre	C2
I'm sick of hearing blissful promises	M
The love I feel is a venereal disease	M
And the image possessing you in your pain your insomnia	C2
Vanishes and it is always near you	H
	-
And now you are on the Riviera	C2
Under lemon trees that never stop blooming	B
You are boating with friends	M
One is from Nice one is from Menton two from La Turbie	C
We are staring terrified at giant squid	M2
At fish the symbols of Jesus swimming through seaweed	M2
	-
You are in the garden at an inn outside of Prague	B
You are completely happy a rose is on the table	S
And instead of getting on with your short story	M2
You watch the rosebug sleeping in the rose's heart	M2
	-
Appalled you see yourself reproduced in the agates of Saint Vitus	M
You were sad near to death to see yourself there	V
You looked as bewildered as Lazarus	M
In the Jewish ghetto the clock runs backwards	M
And you go backwards also through a slow life	O2
Climbing the Hradchen listening at nightfall	S
To Bohemian songs in the singing taverns	M
	-
You in Marseilles among the watermelons	M
	-
Yu in Coblenz at the Hotel Gigantic	B
	-
You in Rome beneath a Japanese tree	M2
	-
You in Amsterdam with a girl you find pretty who is ugly	M2
She's engaged to marry a student from Leyden	O
Where you can rent rooms in Latin Cubicula locanda	M2
I remember spending three days there and three in Gouda	M2
	-
You are in Paris hauled before the magistrate	M2
You are under arrest you are a criminal now	O
	-
You went on sorrowful and giddy travels	M
Ignorant still of dishonesty and old age	Q2
Love afflicted you at twenty and again at thirty	M2
I've lived like a fool and I've wasted my time	R2
You dare not look at your hands I want to weep all the time	R2
On you on the one I love on everything that frightened you	H
	-
And now you are crying at the sight of refugees	M
Who believe in God who pray whose women nurse babies	M
The hall of the train station is filled with the refugee smell	S
Like the Magi refugees believe in their star	W
They expect to find silver mines in the Argentine	O
And to return like kings to their abandoned countries	M
One family carries a red eiderdown you carry your heart	M2
Eiderdown and dreams are equally fantastic	B
	-
Some of the refugees stay on in Paris settling	B
Into slums on the rue des Rosiers or the rue des Ecouffes	M
I have seen them often at dusk they breathe at their doorways	M
They budge from home as reluctantly as chessmen	O
They are chiefly Jewish the women wear wigs	M
And haunt backrooms of little shops in little chairs	M
	-
You're standing at the metal counter of some dive	S2
Drinking wretched coffee where the wretched live	S2
	-
You are in a cavernous restaurant at night	M2
	-
These women are not evil they are used up regretful	S
Each has tormented someone even the ugliest	M2
	-
She is the daughter of a police sergeant from Jersey	M
	-
Her hands I'd never noticed are hard and cracked	M2
	-
My pity aches along the seams of her belly	M
	-
I humble my mouth to her grotesque laughter	F
	-
You're alone when morning comes	M
The milkmen jingle bottles in the street	M2
	-
Night beautiful courtesan the night withdraws	M
Fraudulent Ferdine or careful Leah	C2
	-
And you drink an alcohol as caustic as your life	O2
Your life you drink as alcohol	S
	-
You walk to Auteuil you want to go on foot to sleep	T2
At home among your South Sea and Guinean fetishes	M
Christs of another shape another faith	U2
Subordinate Christs of uncertain hopes	M
	-
Goodbye Goodbye	Z
	-
Sun cut throated	M2
