You know there is not much	A
that I desire a few chrysanthemums	B
half lying on the grass yellow	C
and brown and white the	D
talk of a few people the trees	E
an expanse of dried leaves perhaps	F
with ditches among them	G
	-
But there comes	B
between me and these things	H
a letter	I
or even a look well placed	J
you understand	K
so that I am confused twisted	L
four ways and left flat	M
unable to lift the food to	N
my own mouth	O
Here is what they say Come	P
and come and come And if	Q
I do not go I remain stale to	N
myself and if I go	C
I have watched	R
the city from a distance at night	S
and wondered why I wrote no poem	P
Come yes	T
the city is ablaze for you	N
and you stand and look at it	U
	-
And they are right There is	V
no good in the world except out of	W
a woman and certain women alone	X
for certain But what if	Q
I arrive like a turtle	Y
with my house on my back or	Z
a fish ogling from under water	I
It will not do I must be	A2
steaming with love colored	B2
like a flamingo For what	C2
To have legs and a silly head	D2
and to smell pah like a flamingo	C
that soils its own feathers behind	E2
Must I go home filled	F2
with a bad poem	P
And they say	G2
Who can answer these things	H
till he has tried Your eyes	H2
are half closed you are a child	I2
oh a sweet one ready to play	G2
but I will make a man of you and	J2
with love on his shoulder	I
	-
And in the marshes	K2
the crickets run	L2
on the sunny dike's top and	J2
make burrows there the water	I
reflects the reeds and the reeds	M2
move on their stalks and rattle drily	G2
