Jubilee, Mercury & Anselm
by Gregory Vincent St Thomasino
[ poetry - july 04 ]
Jubilee
for Dr Craig A Martin
circle, from a tree
a palm, a chin, a knee, a trousers
rolled at the ankle, is stepping
a long remain, or welcome
Another boy
feelings of greeting, and fear
in alarm, or leap or certificate
trying and unable
or,
a lilt in theme, the addition of a scarf
out of August, roughly
in aptitude, in hand, taken, in hand
to table.
A gesture, or song, dividing oranges
and morning.
An open shirt. An open pocket.
Mercury

a voice, a personality, a style of dresses
of new acquaintances and of places.
Passing
falls outside, are difficult to call
to land the one upon the other
passing, go on
falls
and that it may, in all reverses
Anselm
seeming, as it does, in doing so, to

are capable, and possessing
of invention
stringing fables, and pickets

often, taking person
or,
various purposes and means
and men and beginnings
various beginnings
A pose, or situation
in view, both of houses, and cars
cities, and scaffolding
the welcome, and valediction
and earn us, at last
of motive, or character, are certain
ordinary and visible attractions
are certain visible attractions
being named, and neighboring
himself, and someone else
can smile, easily and well
and curious, and silent
