That’s All, Folks
The endless rolling of the credits
Outdoes suspense created by the film.
One waits with bated breath to see who edits,
Who is gaffer, grip; whose is the realm
Of post-production, who supplies
The crew with coffee, who provides the wigs
And who the contact lenses. No surprise
The biggest bold-face type is Mr. Big’s,
The Head Producer’s. Still, one sees
No indication of that offstage Best Boy
His trusty dope supplier. (O.J., please
Keep mum on Cato, your convenient guest boy;
There might be domino effect).
The credits grow obscurer toward The End:
A lot of acronyms. Only connect,
As has been said. Keep looking and append
Those letters to their proper guild.
ASCAP is music, BMI also.
Note that non-union stuntmen are not billed.
Check logos. Mountain, Lion, RKO.
A Matterhorn of second birth;
A senile feline overfed on lox;
The tall antenna on the turning Earth;
The searchlit letters of Art Deco Fox.

Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest
A onetime neighborhood chain cinema,
The pornographic movie complex has,
Its street front unremodeled, much the look
Of any witch’s house of gingerbread.
It might well be an Arts and Crafts tea room
In phoniest Victoria, B.C.
Since what goes on inside could pass for rites
Of aliens, a more appropriate
Design might be Frank Gehry’s oddities
Scaled down somewhat, or geodesic dome
With mirrors on its inner surfaces,
The better to entice voyeurs, and, curved,
Enlarge endowments; be a Fun House plus.
In sex what is desired is not ideals
But templates: figures to be laid upon,
Be possible to do, and capable
Of frequent repetition. Sandman next,
Dew Fairy after, in the chosen wood
One’s lost in, any fantasy will do,
And of our hungry actuality
The Fourteen Angels, sexless, cannot know.

East Bank, West Bank
The double line of life,
Cliff-paralleling green,
Accompanies the Nile,
As, flood on flood,
Dark loam puts down the years.
Exactly as if ink
On maps brushed-in its way,
Thin Egypt courses north.
At river level, cliff,
Cane, sky. No sight of sand
Low in between. Buff haze
At the horizon, grit
On cottons which we buy,
Insinuate alone
How near the desert is.
Some five millennia
Know how to fight it off:
Fruit in the mouth alive
And on the tongue at death
The quenching, everlasting myrrh.

Wrecking the Trekkies
More rapidly, somehow, than time-warp would account for,
The look of Star Trek ages. Is there not a fount for-Fountain of youth for--Captain Kirk in ski pajamas,
Or Bones in all that mousse? Wigs; TV dioramas
Depicting on the cheap the cosmic outer reaches
Where none has gone before? As retrograde as leeches
Are to health care are the settings now to science
The Enterprise? A bakelite household appliance.
Low tech solutions for the actors: add a gusset;
If there is hernia, in action scenes just truss it.
Nor do the plot lines hold up well. They shilly-shally.
Why can’t we have, they always say, peace in the valley.
An ethnic quota system seems to haunt the casting.
The 60s in pursuit of Feelgood everlasting.
One China, Scotland, Ex-USSR, Sri Lanka…
How did that Flight Deck function? Had it lingua franca?
And down below decks have we what? Matsu and Quemoy?
(It is the 60s, mind). Not even Leonard Nimoy
In Spock’s neat syllogisms could on Earth keep up with
Tribes and Mandates. Who’s a diplomat to sup with?
Alas, Star Ship, your good intentions did not do it,
And “Beam us up” from wrack must rescue. Look you to it.

Worlds and Underworlds
Eden was a garden ; Heaven is a city.
Hell… We are not told, and more the pity.
Dante was entirely on his own.
A frozen lake? The fire is lately gone?
Or is it? Global warming is as much a threat,
Greenpeace informs us, as a new onset
Of glaciation, or the seas’ receding,
Rising. Which, depends upon your reading.
Seven Circles, Seven Seas, Inferno sounded,
Science rhymed, the issue is confounded
By the felt dictate that punishment
Should fit the crime, and since the force, extent
Of crime is boundless, Hell, if it’s a cave, must span
A poet’s caverns measureless to man;
And if a city like its rival, be well gated;
Have its guards at one-way gates twice guarded.
Escape is any bribe or any proposition.
Guards below have no more inhibition
Than our own, or would not be in Hell.
Far better here than bound upon the Wheel
Revolving toward Nirvana. Is it really worth it,
All that incarnation? To rebirth it
Painfully until we free the soul,
Each death, meanwhile, no more than brief parole?

Windy Day at the Beach
A gris; E gris; I gris…
High wind on loose screen doors bangs out a sound of gavels;
Angular,
The sailboats are a diacritic mark that travels:
A far white circumflex. And if their sea has vowels,
Jocular,
They are a yachting clubman’s, not Rimbaud transferals;
Are gray on gray. Ashore, accents are pampas grasses-Diacritics
Fuzzy-focused, leaning in a wind that passes,
That will make of them upright exclamations;
Make, erratic,
Grave acute. You Babel of the eye, wind-nations,
When the gavel sounds, and, fragile as the canvas,
Tongues are parted,
Accents shifted in an ease the hearing envies,
Where are the Laws of Language? Where the Judge, the Judgment?
Unregarded
Falls the Tower; breeze is breath, and sand encroachment..

Where Is Gutzon Borglum
Now That We Need Him?
Boulders forming the silhouette were dislodged
last week by ordinary geologic forces. Embarrassing , as the famous image appears on New
Hampshire’s souvenir coin.
--AP
The Great Stone Face existed as a face
In profile only. Should we in its place
Put up a one-man Rushmore in the round,
So literal that any meaning found
By any post-modern Hawthorne would be lost
In controversies over choice and cost?
The Profile had hawk nose and jutting chin
That one might contemplate New England in.
It was, full front, an overhang of rock
In which a symbolist would put no stock:
A naturally deconstructed text
Too jumbled to be dated or be sexed.
Generic Yankee, hero’s portrait bust,
Whatever goes up on the mountain must,
To make it onto any Seal of State
Be too beyond contention to debate.
A Great Stone Jackie Kennedy, perhaps;
An Old Man of the Mountain under wraps
Until revealed as (You may put in here
Whichever Rock Star you just now revere.)
Could no Onassis, God, cement or mortar
Prop up that image for New Hampshire’s quarter?

Waiting for a Durbar
The Voortrekker Monument
If what we call the Cullinan,
The world’s immensest diamond,
Is by the nature of its form,
Its crystal structure, only part
Of some still larger diamond
As yet unfound, have we some cause,
At this late date, to search it out?
Discretion is today the gem
Of dynasties, whose mistresses
Are not what once they were. What is
What once it was, Pretoria,
However grim the deficit,
Would never waive the export ban.
Create therefore a crown to wait?
For all those Indian Army colonels
Beached in Pietermaritzburg,
Of their Dominion Capricorn
Some final Crown Imperial?
The Rajah Kruger heads them off.
Captive across the passes, held
Beneath the granite oculus,
Voortrekker Heights’ echoing dome,
As in a Boere baldachin,
Eight thousand carats catch the sun:
On tripod of the Rand’s own gold,
Unfueled, white, eternal flame-The mandate of the Volk expressed;
Long epic shrunken to a stone.
The empty setting in Natal,
The arches and the cross of pearl,
Make mockery of House and Mace
As patently as of a Crown.
Back to an earth contested long
Let drop the carbon: part and part
One jewel, out of light in dark;
Out, out of envy, in a clay
No fire comes to a second time,
Though every dominion burn.
The great volcanic throat, the mine
Which it encloses, contradict.
Their sky is red; their clay is blue.

Virtual Crown Jewels
There was no imperial crown--and to the end of Germany’s days
As an empire there would never be one, except as an artist’s
Impression on coins, flags, post-boxes and the like.
--Michael Sturmer, The German Empire, 1870-1918
Comparisons with England and with Russia
Too invidious, Wilhelm? Or pressure
From the Social Democrats? Confession
Southwest Africa as your possession
Could not muster diamonds to weigh you?
Baltic amber not enough display you?
Austria did not hold coronations
But had crowns; in its u.K impatience
Hungary had both, although St. Stephen’s
Crown, always at sixes and at sevens
With Vienna, gadfly in the ointment,
Just as headgear is a disappointment.
The Cross on top of it is somewhat leaning,
And crooked crosses have another meaning.
Omen, this at least is subtly sparing.
What if Faberge had decked out Goering?

Veterans of the Forgotten War
As undependable as its eternal flame,
The Soldiers’ Monument subtracts and adds its wars
As shrubbery and winds of fashion may require.
High pyracanthus edges out of sight Viet Nam;
How long since you have seen a plaque to San Juan Hill?
Red berries and Political Correctness, peace
And pacifism, and the rising price of gas
Unknow the Unknown Soldier. Poetry of War
Means Homer or the trenches, no? The in-betweens
Have rather shorter shrift, and mercenaries none,
Nor we who did “policing.” Three upon a match
Is said to be bad luck, as PC would agree,
If only for the smoking. Still, a hasty strike,
The sulfur flicker and the thrice-intaken breath
May be a brevity as much a monument
As bronze and fuel. Come: fly in the face of luck.
Companion on my left, companion on my right,
Light up. The little heat that in the crowded dark
Picks out our faces shows us just how few we are.
But as the weed in life has been a comfort, ash
Can be rehearsal for a final scattering:
The cigarette field-stripped, the match in half, the self
Dispersed. If you would have some marker less diffuse,
Toss on the artificial turf a stubbed-out butt.
A litter is the midden of the future, lode
And mother lode long after every fire is out
And archaeology sees war in every ash.
