National Poetry Month - Day 14: Paul Haines

2 by Paul Haines


"PAINT ME!"

DEDICATED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

PAINT ME!
PAINT ME!

I'M A DOG
PLAYING CARDS
--

"LET'S SIT RIGHT DOWN"

LET'S SIT RIGHT DOWN
SAY HOW SLOWLY THE PASSING
CAN INSIST UPON APPEARING
TO TAKE

WHEN NOTHING
IN THE FORM OF EVERYTHING
IS AT STAKE
--

from Secret Carnival Workers (H.Pal Productions, 2007)
