Embraced in public on a wall
Heroes in shirt-sleeves! Next to them
The average man felt small.

© Bernadette Mayer

Put conductor on as soon as
pen name is hard
be sure rolled-up ringworm is on
the outspokenness. And leave
space suit at tire to hold

There was a fair maid dwellin’,
Made every youth cry Well-a-way!
Her name was Barbara Allen.

He'll have his all; and though his heart is great,
Ay, prodigal of kindness, yet is he
A very Shylock in his bargaining.
Those soft, mild eyes of his grow hard as iron
To gauge the too, too little or too much,
When commerce puts his temper to the touch.
