Here She Is
—for Paul Bowles

Here she is—
She doesn’t mind
When we come by

She has no mind—
It’s hard to believe
But she’s a voyant

Things are that way—
Words are like dust
Motes floating in air

She lapses into—
Forgetfulness and
Lets the wind blow

Surrealism is her—
Nom de plume when
She’s doing poetry

Miss Breton—
Taught Miss Bowles
Je est un autre
