Jack Spicer

[from Jack Spicer's The Collected Books of Jack Spicer, Black Sparrow, 1975]]

Sheep Trails Are Fateful to Strangers

Dante would have blamed Beatrice
If she turned up alive in a local bordello
Or Newton gravity
If apples fell upward
What I mean is words
Turn mysteriously against those who use them
Hello says the apple
Both of us were object.
