William Carlos Williams: No Good Too

She's the girl
had her picture
in the papers: just
14 years old and

ran off with
the guy her mother
brought home
from a gin mill

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963): No Good Too, fromThe Golden Goose, Autumn 1948

William Carlos Williams: Drugstore Library

That's the kind of books
they read.
They love their filth.
Knee boots
and they want to hear
it suck
when they pull 'em out.

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963): Drugstore Library, from The Pink Church, 1949

Satisfaction Guilt

It's not as easy to get
As you might think
Just keep thinking though
And you'll find yourself
Getting more and more of it
And it will feel so good
You'll no longer be able to recall
A time when you weren't satisfied
And feeling guilty
About it. Meanwhile -
Hey old Feller
No not you strange old guy in mirror
Or you dark ageless guy
Crumpled on pavement - No,
You! Bob!
It is you, isn't it, Bob?
Hey! It's me! Tom!
Remember that time back in I Oh Way
When you threw that fastball
Through the wall
Of that barn
And it blasted right through like 3-fork'd lightning
Shredding the boards
And I was standing there naked and defenseless exposed to the universe
Under the alien stars
In the middle of the vast unfenced infrared mojave desert
On the other side?!

Hey old Feller
Who cares!
