     Mr. K said in times of great crudity
     it is necessary to be subtle
     so please wrap around me
     with awkward grace
     I may have suffered some Rilke Damage
     or do I just have a little trouble
     with fantasy tripwires
     while engrossed in the sky's lexicon
     & hills like purple pachyderms
     "there's been a great upsurgence"
     said the announcer but I didn't catch
     what of & what of where
     does it come from where does it go
     still asking on down the road
