Boxes
Wearing Winter (Wiesbaden)
Rectangle up, rectangle down.
Cage constructed, workers hurry away.
Plans are like pages of manuscripts; architects should sign their names.
The owner should sign them. Imagine spending all that money and not getting a signature building.
Each building is weighty and alone.
Stores inside sell things in boxes.
People in office boxes carry briefcases—
boxes within boxes.
The air is boxed in; the elevator
walls define its box.
There's a hardness about these that lets them be suspended.
Box lunch can be eaten in the patio.
The pigeons bring circles to these boxes.
TOP
Wearing Winter
( Wiesbaden )
The people of this town walk around with damp underwear.
Light rain dampens the spreadout undies.
How good Wiesbadeners feel putting on misty underthings.
A visitor says, "Get a dryer,"
and they reply, in German: “It’s not done.”
