Mid-Day Crowd
March 27, 2015
What is the point in, say, five hundred years,
Abroad they’ve still got the pyramid of Whoosis,
Would it last in New York? The answer is, who cares.
So many a day makes anything like forever:
So a hydrant is (the joke is on the designer)
So the shutter of a camera is open forever,
So how’s the fuckin wife, Christ, couldn’t be finer.
Isolated, active, attractive, separated,
Momentary, complete, neat, fragmentary,
Ordinary, extraordinary, related,
Steady, ready, harried, married, cute, astute, hairy.
Created equal as they say, so where’s the pity?
In a split second a girl is forever pretty.—Edwin Denby
