Churchill Downs (Peter Williams, 20th C)


The Airs


the height of civilization is not a seasonal
horse race at churchill downs…

she said
of course not dear friend
dressing for it is.



The Art of War

the art of war…
who even stops to listen to the next ignorant sentence…

when did anyone ever hear of a general
stopping the sack of a city
and the slaughter of its women and children
to finish a poem.



The Explanation Goes

the explanation goes
movement depends on a relationship to something else…
well i always want to skip the small tasks
and have someone explain the something else first.
