Fashion Has Its Limits
Flat-chested as the decade asks,
Ceres atop the Board of Trade
Is the fertility of Root
And Holabird, Chicago firm
Of twenties architects. Much though
One may admire a Poiret gown,
High tech has not the Beaux-Arts bulge
That is the all of ripeness. Beacon
Cereal, commodity
Or future, it is Demeter
Who lights LaSalle Street. Chic and debt
Narrow the cornucopia,
But not so Spring does not return.

A Song without Words, or with
The Singing River (the Pascagoula) produces a mysterious music.
Legend says that the sound is connected with the mysterious disappearance of the Pascagoula tribe of Indians. It is said that,
lifting a song, they entered the water rather than submit to
oppression.
Federal Writers Project. Mississippi; a guide
By water too indifferent to part,
A fateful exodus is set to start.
As stiff as gods processing down a stair
The Nation meet the river, well aware
Their Promised Land is here and not ahead.
And so they raise a chant. Of hope? Of dread?
As ethnocentric as a music is,
We cannot know. Its alien mysteries
Become the simple program we infer,
In which the tribe may not or may concur.
What was the sound of one side of the split
Waves of the Red Sea slapping? Did it fit
Pronouncements of the prophets or conform
To some unknown tsunamic sonic norm?
A legend is just that. It meets a need
Most truth does not, and on it comes to feed
Such expiation or such urge to guilt
As can be gathered from a singing silt.
So unto whom the tribe’s forced end ascribe?
De Soto? No, another local tribe,
Which is the truth of it, if not the song:
The tone deaf fact our mythic programs wrong.

A Course in Sax Education
Created decades after all the rest,
Rogue instrument and uninvited guest,
The saxophone, as in the lyric, has
“A right to sing the blues,” and not in jazz
Alone. It is the last low tech new sound.
The cutting edge today is to be found
In synthesizers. Woodwind in design
But more a sounding brass, an androgyne
Allowed in symphonies on sufferance,
A solo sound in any circumstance,
Inflection paralleling human speech,
As if the verbal were itself in reach.
So, just as electronic music skips
All intervention of the reed and lips,
And, although digital, of fingers; just
As jazz has no notation,, all the dust
Of previous tradition Adolphe Sax
Blew quite away, and what his patent lacks
In subtlety it gains as prototype
Of music presently more Pan than pipe,
Always betokening its origin,
The Tenderloin it was created in.
Alderman Story, Earl and Blaze, poor street
Musician playing daily on your feet,
The sax for you is eminent domain
Between Parnassus and Lake Pontchartrain.

Adam Delves
A Song Omitted from Pique-Dame
The Ace of Clubs is too much like a clover-Three-leaf if not four-To have a hint of death be carried over
From its metaphor
The Ace of Spades. Nor is a diamond,
In spite of curses such
As may upon the big Hope Blue be found
A competition much.
The jinx of jinxes, as by enharmonic
Change, escapes its suit:
As cosmic pique in heart and blood subsonic
Says still, “Dig, poor brute;”

Amortization and its Discontents
Whatever future was the pledge,
Dissatisfaction has the edge.
Not that the grass is elsewhere greener,
But that both it and ours grow meaner.
The hay made while the sun shines sours;
One can improve his shining hours,
Not lengthen. Does to have and flaunt not
Mock the poor man’s waste not, want not,
Or does it parallel it? Greed
As demonstration of the need,
Unanswerable and unafforded,
To hoard what cannot now be hoarded:
The decades wasting of themselves.
A cliff erodes; an ice floe shelves;
Our future is a sum that dwindles,
Memory bank a bank that swindles.
One way or other, time subtracts.
Life is a minus sign that acts.

The Apostolic Succession Ends
The final pontiff has been laid to rest,
And none will venerate him. Neither schism,
War, nor atheism, and let alone
Intolerance, could bring about the close
Of twenty centuries of tack and trim.
It was diversity. The Curia
Could not adjust to thought of Peter’s throne
As Babel speaking ex cathedra, nor,
Rotated continent to continent
For relevance, could very long survive
The Papacy itself. Its Vatican
Sold off to meet the lawsuits, Montreal
As heir of the receivership, the Church
Of England co-opts the theology,
Or such of it as still can be determined.
Websites, or some few, will guide the old
To bones of saints and True Cross jigsaw bits
In virtual reality. So long
The one mandate of Heaven if the first
Among bureaucracies, the universal
Was at last fragmented by locale.
A province is the wedge of heresy.
Total depravity and ex-Elect,
Predestined as if Calvin willed, Rome ends.

Architecture 202
The lenses of my glasses, ever thicker,
Say if I cannot see it's not the liquor,
And spare me seeing in too much detail
Frank Gehry cityscapes, an out of scale
Metallic origami for such patrons
As push for calling café hired help "waitrons"
And can accept museums by the ton
That look created by a pastry gun.
If in this world of Dr. Caligari
One is unwillingly upon safari,
He learns to love the square, right angle, plane.
It may be Euclid lived and died in vain,
But so did Gaudi, and those cast iron flora
On balustrades went out with Isadora.
Astigmatism in the eye can be,
Somewhat, corrected. If the street we see
In fact is gross distortion, then soft contacts
Cannot tell buildings from the Adirondacks.
And if perspective stretches, is it not
That palaces in Venice lean a lot?
Perhaps a war might blow walls into plumb,
Neutrons correct my vision. Fall, sweet bomb.

Assyrian Bull
Five legs and human head,
Luckily not alive:
The only quintiped.
Not symbol, legs not five
(Insects incline to six)
A queen bee sites the hive:
Her sexless workers’ sex,
A flying Nineveh.
The excavators’ picks
Evoke Iraq’s “Oi! Weh!”
That British haul took out
Their patrimony, eh?
Incestuous as Lot,
Diverse gene pool of one,
Variety and not,
Food for the proverb-prone,
A swarm dwells in a skull.
Skull of a lion. Stone
Inoculates the bull.
The bull has wings, not flight;
Sexist in her rule,
The queen has eggs, not might.
And are they vengeance, these?
Islamic acts of spite
Of former colonies?
Attacks of killer bees?
A Bull’s mad cow disease?
.

At the Veterans Administration
“They come down silently. You cannot hear them.
Choppers sound like Maytags in the sky.”
The Medic shrugs. “He’s talking aliens.
All this ward is. Pink elephants are out.”
“Before Viet Nam, the VA doctor says,
“If dipsos fantasized it was fire ants
And killer bees. I daresay Desert Storm
Will bring out scorpions. How violent
Is this one?”
“Only when he grabs the phone
And tries to get through to the Pentagon.”
“They can’t take off straight up. They almost can.
Don’t need a runway. Just a running start.
If we had used them in the countryside
We could have spooked the Cong. They track by sound.”
“A sedative cannot do any harm.
He’s too far gone. I rather like the thought
Of aliens abducting Uncle Ho.
I’ve always thought a little poison gas
In all those tunnels would have turned the tide.”
“Now this one,” says the Medic, “is a trip.
He thinks he’s Charles Lindbergh held prisoner
By FDR and Wall Street Jews.”
“Well, war
Has its objectors.”
“Not space aliens.
He’s talking autogiros. As I said
To Hermann Goering, don’t expect too much
Of those Sikorsky helicopters. They
Do well to get six feet above the ground.”
The Doctor leaves the Hepatitis-cumCirrhosis ward as one might flee an eighth
In Planet of the Apes series. He blinks.
"The ticking time lag of the middle-aged.
It's in technology it shows up first.
I even recognize it in myself.
If I think 'plane' it's prop job DC3
And radio is Philco. When Iraq
Kicks in it's bound to be the first night-lens
Remembered from Kuwait; the first smart bombs."
With some amusement he acknowledges
He bought the paperweight upon his desk
In the belief it was a toy V-2
To find it was a Saturn replica.
And as from outer space his own wisecrack
About the use of poison gas comes back.
"Perhaps," he thinks, "a superseded tech
Is how to win a war. Radar did not
�Pick up those fire balloons the Japanese
Sent over California; Brush fires
May well be arson by the Taliban.
Sonar cannot detect a sailing ship.
Was it a rowboat that did in the Cole?
An M-1 never jams. The M-16...
Being expendable, the older ships
Could have succeeded at Gallipoli.
Has the Atomic Bomb been superseded
By the Hydrogen? Don't go there."
