from How Spring Comes
Toys and rose The zoo body zigzags
I think fish too
but I'm a polite
social being, I'm a Ladle Lady or purple
and blue I write green letters and gold
editorials for the Krystal Oxygen Company
I have one hip as far as I can see, that
I see as I write say
white tee-shirts
upsidedown
turn em around
& put them on
your muscles
my angels
or
a semi-colon
is blue window
to me
is that a haiku? I fly over San Diego in some way or
another real despair and ask you to comfort me. You
more or less do, you aren't even here . . .
– Alice Notley (1981)
