Yes, I have that kind of crazy
that sits down and writes
poem after poem after poem.
A swig of rhyme,
a twig of kept time,
a measure of musical
all from this chair.
That means
no more or less
than it means.
It means that I write
poems.
And then I write
poems.
To what end?
There are poems
that come here
and stay here
and stray here
and play there.
For what purpose?
I propose
that purposes
are questions best answered
after the fact
of the fact
of a tract
of hand-tilled land.
