They Jangle

In pockets, lockers,
at the end of lanyards
on necks
in hands, in cars
on doors, in hands


Looking at the guy opening
the magazine stand to refill
it at Tempe Public Library

The Last Night of the Earth poems

There's a bluebird in my heart
that is as old as me
its a field inside
just mowed

That I have known the dead - title of a poem

In the bottom of the hour lurks

You know and I know and thee know

I am not alone


We aint got no money, honey, but we got rain

Born like this into this

Embellishment

In 'Wallace Stevens: Teaching the Anthology pieces', Helen Vendler says that Disillusionment of Ten O' Clock will warn them (readers) that he also fears the minimalist style, which can entail wearing only "white night-gowns".

If we can explore the anatomy of one room in  Hearst Castle

or even a Coffee Table Ashley Furniture 

where a modern one would look bare bones.

The embellishment coaxes one way of looking at it

different from how we would look at something new for the first time.

Is embellishment of an ordinary material, a way of lapel pressing

stashing memories of 

Emperor of the Icecream
