SCANDAL

Aren't there bigger things to talk about

Than a window in Greenwich Village

And hyacinths sprouting

Like little puce poems out of a sick soul?

Some cosmic hearsay--

As to whom--it can't be Mars! put the moon--that way....

Or what winds do to canyons

Under the tall stars...

Or even

How that old roué, Neptune,

Cranes over his bald-head moons

At the twinkling heel of a sky-scraper.
