This is not the end of the poem, but
certainly the end of the beginning, so
don’t blink, or
you may miss, what
even a blind man,
can laugh at,
in the East, a wind
blowing west, saying:
“A nightingale talking, masks
nothing ears
can’t hear,
or your eyes can’t see.”
So, Rule me,
if you dare,
with so many words,
scarves
and hate.
I will be blue,
watching Ernie in June.
