observation post

 

I

 

the green consciousness of staple crops

in majesty overplied with baksheesh

in the heat of the noonday sun

and the weather reports multiplied

to a fine vintage in the glass or board spread for a tuck-in

 

 

 II

 

it is also unless the cloudless sea betrays me

a mere instance of telepathy at work

sampling the coconut creams and dreams like that there dirk

in a play of the Bard’s the Scots banzai
