Prayer by the chaplain:
cloudy pleas, made to a god
we keep nebulous. -
Farmers’ Lobby Week:
seed-hatted, they plow the halls
sowing their concord. -
Sulfite pages in
the old casebooks
flake to crumbs.
So much for the past. -
(Oh dear. There are now
seven hundred sixty words
in this subitem.) -
Where white silk brocade
covers the tall, formal walls,
we cut food support. -
Capitol Cafe:
German proverbs, whitewashed since
1917, -
are restored to view
with bright applause. Old hatreds
have new objects now.
