Poem Beginning and Ending

With Lines from Williams

So much depends

upon

the eye's seeing

take the poem

of the eye

and place it there

before the eye

again,

a thing to be

reckoned

the mind moves

close,

with it,

the epistemology

of significance,

fastidious old man

of the brain

shabby waistcoat

worn buttons

rusty wheel

barrow

rummaging among

lines:

the clean

pit of a blue

plumb

the broken

pieces of a green

bottle
