the spin cycle

not many artistic bad questions
hit my mind
when I saw the way things were heading
(says I)
but they went as sure they must
a frightful cap-lidded idiocy
the odd disenchantment and loss
and the bright new boys
gone their way in turn

active positive

she says to me girly here
I don't want to listen
no I mean don't here except actively positively
the face that launched a thousand argosies
arson anyway
