Painting by Pablo Picasso
Uncertainty Injected by Robert Bly
But what if the hops don't hop
and the leaps don't leap?
What if the static light shines
steadily, brightly, reassuringly?
To each his own, then? Or must
I be right to be right?
But yes, a lot of this stuff is
consumerism of personal beauty,
and we do live in rich countries.
Pariahs have little use for
Picasso, and what's the right
time to read André Breton?
I am imposing a sprig of thyme
on time - the right time. Bly
needled an audience hope-
fully larger than the edition.
We are all children of our
shells, eating, defecating, starving,
watching people with limps
hold out a hand to children.
Johannes Beilharz
