[verse 1]

this poem is called “poem”
i made it
(and i called it.)

“that’s not a crossed look
it’s a sign of life!
but i’m glad you care how i looked at you
this morning
after i got up

i was thinking of president warren g. harding
and horace s warren
father of the little blond girl across the street
and another blond: agnes headlend
this was in the sixth grade

but
now the day has begun
in a soft gray way
with elephantine traffic trudging along fifth
and two packages of camels in my pocket

i can’t think of one interesting thing warren g harding did
i guess i was passing notes to sally and agnes at the time
when he came up in our elephantine history course.”
[verse 2]

“everything seems slow suddenly
and boring
except for my insatiable
thinking toward you

as you lie asleep, completely plast
and gracious as a pillow
in a mist

for one small window
sunless, and only slightly open
as is your mouth
and presently your quiet eyes
your breathing is like that history lesson.”

- the summer we went west lyrics
