THE LOVE SONG OF A. PORKY VERDEGAST

I'm back in the world

I drink my coffee

and have my egg sandwich

and stare out at the morning throngs


and being old I watch today's parade

which though the faces have changed

still look like last month's or last year's

or 10 years or 30 years ago


even old possom spoke of muddy feet

pressing to early coffee stands

on his dark brown London mornings

going to the bank or Faber


or whichever anchor to the world

he choose to fix his in his unconscious condescension
