Tragic Stories In Another Dream Are Comedies

[jeff harrison]

this season's best known among nightbirdmen
a landscape - Cleo's barge anyhow - left spots,
none too pragmatic!, among her couch cushions
feathers for these many years played the lion's part
        before an entrance to fewer galleries
        4000 psychiatrists tried & failed
        to count the nightbirdmen feathers
        (a ridiculous story, but ...          
still a kind of wilderness: their verdict)
their language fit only for morgue toe tags
fallen behind spotty couch cushions spoke of
        impersonal treasure and queried
"why galleries when you meant labyrinths?"
tho the nightbirdmen are marked for slaughter,
yet will they trust in you, Twenty-Fifth Shrink,
your errors more honest, your essay more reluctant
                         they vote you
Least Likely To Guess Their Feathers Stuff The Cushions
