Old Mind
Ol’ mind is appreciably soluble
tho not rigorously pure
He takes the picture, & a while, & the road
getting hold of by making
Too, he hangs to vestiges
as if seeing through a doorcrack
I reckon his mechanism’s sum
is all crackle & spook’t thump
What he seeks he moves the edges
so the center won’t appear
Trick is that he’ll keep things :
a certain song, a syntax, a sop
you dipped in wine.
