Wrigley's, appendecitis, John Marin:
skyscraper soup —
Either that or a bullet !

Once
anything might have happened
You lay relaxed on my knees —
the starry night
spread out warm and blind
above the hospital —

Pah !

It is unclean
which is not straight to the mark —
In my life the furniture cats me

the chairs, the floor
the walls
which heard your sobs
drank up my emotion —
they which alone know everything

and snitched on us in the morning —

What to want ?
