In that little burg where they hoodwink

One another, dupe, beguile

The visitor, the road seemed moonstruck

In broad daylight.

The country store with a porch sold loons

Made out of blocks of wood

The same dead-set, loony look

Replicated in hundreds of eyes.

The chuckling boy who pumped gas

Held a tomcat under his other arm.

Did the two know what they were?

Loons, I shouted at them, as I drove off.

The Secret of the Yellow Room

Sloth’s best. Lolling on a sofa

In a Chinese dressing gown

With the windows open to the heat,

The breeze rousing the leaves.

The flies dozing on the ceiling.
