ROBIN
WYATT DUNN
approach
and now
as we
approach and then defend
this end
of the court
will we
resort of course to madness
to sort
out the leap, from the feint?
will we
contain the measure of our need
within the
doctrine of this measured sport
not tennis
or war
but city life
we care to
know just what sorts are coming over
visible
now on the horizon
wearing
boa contrictors and jiggling babies
with their
jeans on overload
and their
hair striated
like
alligator muscle
our
leering worth
extends
our girth
our mirth
works:
"hey
fatso!
let's get
a divorce!"
we shout
to the tribe across the street
what more
can we contend with
than love?
