Poem of the Day
White and Manila
for Bink Noll
Taken from 'New Poetries VII'...Your package was not delivered Because there was no one at home; We tried to force the window but Failed, and merely upset the cat. A second attempt was made, but When we called at your door you were Searching ferociously for keys, And seemed unworthy of the gift. Your package was not delivered A third time because we opened it Ourselves and enjoyed its bright Entrails hungrily (whilst sorting boys Swooped around our heads like vultures). We have delivered over two thousand Packages this year without fail, But not yours. Perhaps This is due to some fault at the root Of your character, or something Unresolved in the tangled Ecology of your family tree. Nevertheless, we will endeavour To call at the threshold of your house Each day, and hand over a thick packet Of white and manila notices. |
