January Morning→ |
| from Al Que Quiere! (1917) |
Miserable little woman
in a brown coat—
quit whining!
My hand for you!
We'll skip down the tin cornices
of Main Street
flicking the dull roof-line
with our toe-tips!
Hop clear of the bank! A
pin-wheel round the white flag-pole.
And I'll sing you the while
a thing to split your sides
about Johann Sebastian Bach,
the father of music, who had
three wives and twenty-two children.
