Dear poetryetc, Here's a terrific pantoom by Australian poet, the late John Anderson, who passed away not long ago, from his final book "The Shadow's Keep". THE WORLD CANNOT BE OVERCOME BY THE ANALOGUE "I" The world cannot be overcome by the analogue "I" The choice of a subject is the choice of a glance At the height of what is said, waterfall A truth veiled as in its veiled effects The choice of a subject like the choice of a glance Creating an epi space where the legend itself, Art, can be freely thrown about A truth veiled as in its veiled effects What are we looking for? Nameless objects with paths Creating an epi space where the legend itself, Art, can be freely thrown about The cloud front that passes the brow of the talk What are we looking for? Nameless objects with paths A limber spot in the limberlost The cloud front that passes the brow of the talk Tearing off the cardboard and singing to the crockery A limber spot in the limberlost Mud is a writer- lightning is a writer Tearing off the cardboard and singing to the crockery At the height of what is said, waterfall Mud is a writer- lightning is a writer The world cannot be overcome by the analogue "I" John Anderson >From 'The Shadow's Keep", Black Pepper, 1997 Cheers, Cassie _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
