Two Poems

A Breakfast Radish

Whatever we’re dealing with catches us
in mid-reconsideration. It’s beautiful,
my lord, just not made to be repeated,

Counterterrorists have already invaded parts of England
and Spain. Your action dollar at work.
Deception figures in quite a few precious things,
although, as I say, it’s a small remnant
of what others have achieved to avoid being singed.

We have a special on revenge tragedy.
March is going to be a heavier day.
The girls talked about getting ready.
When they do, in this or that glen,
looks can be deceiving, he stressed.

wine and fripperies, is what I can do for you, drab gent.’

Do you want to eat those sunny, idle cakes?
If I can get a cancellation
to feign grand illness, alas, he likes to take care of
each other. And I think, I really do think that
a poultice … Hey, I’ve been hungry for two seconds.
You’re staying without a gift. A lot of liquid
from Latin hands will trickle down to the strange Oz house

told him not to participate. Whom did you involve?

The Alps are for women, strictly speaking.
It is definitely possible, in the Slovak station,

Well, you don’t want it to. Perhaps no outcome,
but impeccably located, shocking images
in forests of creosote, making an event possible. It’s special-loaded

We made so much money this is almost on the house.
It was 1910.
