"1. I’ll walk a turn, and digest what I have read.
2. You’ll grow devilish fat upon this paper diet."
~ Congreve.—Love for Love, Act I. Scene 1.

Odd the way light
Explodes the doldrums of a summer
Day ~ intermezzo gilding spiky
Blade of herbage into well ~

Attended shows,
Optic entertainment. Or take
For breakfast, whipped cream plopped atop
Will blueberries,

From following
The fancy, the scattered clouds over ~
Head, overheard. Or maybe reconsider, precisely
What the acrobat said, between

You and me,
There’d be ample room to disagree.
A mourning glory’s fenestration,
Intricate as our quarrel’s

Tracery,
Today’s contention. Each brilliant
As quick sparkles ~ your earrings splashed
About ~ A diamond, a ruby circle. Only

Later, you find me
Thumbing through the dictionary,
Searching for a divination, my vain failings,
Fallings, back on the word, heavy

With memory,
An unstable atmosphere.
Our bed of violets alfresco aprons,
Sings, the last light foreshadowing,

Foreshortening,
A foggy-minded change of weather,
Doing her best to keep an imminent extinction
Something less than final.
Season’s interval,
A finial.

QUESTIONABLE.—
"Thou com’st in such a questionable shape
That I will speak to thee."

QUIPS.—
"Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles,
Nods and becks, and wreathed smiles."

QUOTING—
"With just enough of learning to misquote."
