— 33 —
at the faucet of
June that rings
the triangle of the air
pulling at the
anemonies in
Persephone's cow pasture
When from among
the steel rocks leaps
J. P. M.
who enjoyed
extraordinary privileges
among virginity
to solve the core
of whirling flywheels
by cutting
the Gordian knot
with a Veronese or
perhaps a Rubens—
whose cars are about
the finest on
the market today—
