Tom Raworth, Edward Sanders and Susie Timmons
[paraphrased poetry]
How could it be?
Take my eyes!
Oh colon, semicolon, comma!
Suddenly the air is laughter
Forget you know—and look at the world
As far as the eye can see
It was a wild world of words
And everywhere
The song of the wild lecture
Arose above a wild lectern
(Smug townies—who thought they could hog the keys to the sky …)
There was the fact that a climate of lectures and rallies
Can aid in the first rough forward step
But rarely the second
The joked how the ships brought the greenhorns to Rutgers Square
As the moving vans took the radicals to Rome
Wow! Look at these neat monsters on this cereal box!
Wow! What great colors!
On the walls—which are tough bandits
Talking bricks
What can you say about love
Except it pisses me off
Spinning top—you are beautiful
In my arms
When you rest …
