John Ashbery (July 28, 1927-September, 3, 2017)
How little we know,
and when we know it!*****
We close in on ourselves,
then yelp that the world is awry.*****
We had macaroni for lunch every day
except Sunday, when a small quail was induced
to be served to us. Why do I tell you these things?
You are not even here.—”Like A Sentence,” “Tahiti Trot,” “This Room” (fragments)
