THIS TIME IT’S FOR REAL
LET’S REVIEW AND ENJOY
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

PASSERS-BY, Out of your many faces
Flash memories to me
Now at the day end
Away from the sidewalks
Where your shoe soles traveled
And your voices rose and blend
To form the city's afternoon roar
Hindering an old silence.
Passers-by, I remember lean ones among you, Throats
in the clutch of a hope,
Lips written over with strivings,
Mouths that kiss only for love.
Records of great wishes slept with,
Held long And prayed and toiled for. .
Yes, Written on Your mouths
And your throats I read them
When you passed by.
Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and
changing everything carefully
spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and from moving New
and Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and
without breaking anything.

2. WHO IS THE SPEAKER?
3. WHAT IS THE OCCASION
I am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.
Whatever I see I swallow immediately
Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.
I am not cruel, only truthfulThe eye of the little god, four cornered.
Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.
It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long
I think it is a part of my heart. But it f;lickers.
Faces and darkness separate us over and over.
Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,
Searching my reaches for what she really is.
Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.
I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.
She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.
I am important to her. She comes and goes.
Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.
In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman
Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.

PURPOSE?
"Mother dear, may I go downtown
Instead of out to play,
And march the streets of Birmingham
In a Freedom March today?"
"No, baby, no, you may not go,
For the dogs are fierce and wild,
And clubs and hoses, guns and jails
Aren't good for a little child."
"But, mother, I won't be alone.
Other children will go with me,
And march the streets of Birmingham
To make our country free."
"No, baby, no, you may not go,
For I fear those guns will fire.
But you may go to church instead
And sing in the children's choir."
She has combed and brushed her night-dark
hair,
And bathed rose petal sweet,
And drawn white gloves on her small brown
hands,
And white shoes on her feet.
The mother smiled to know that her child
Was in the sacred place,
But that smile was the last smile
To come upon her face.
For when she heard the explosion,
Her eyes grew wet and wild.
She raced through the streets of Birmingham
Calling for her child.
She clawed through bits of glass and brick,
Then lifted out a shoe.
"O, here's the shoe my baby wore,
But, baby, where are you?"

My old man's a white old man
And my old mother's black.
If ever I cursed my white old man
I take my curses back.
If ever I cursed my black old mother
And wished she were in hell,
I'm sorry for that evil wish
And now I wish her well
My old man died in a fine big house.
My ma died in a shack.
I wonder were I'm going to die,
Being neither white nor black?

TERENCE, this is stupid stuff: You
eat your victuals fast enough; There
can’t be much amiss, ’tis clear, To
see the rate you drink your beer. But
oh, good Lord, the verse you make,
5 It gives a chap the belly-ache. The
cow, the old cow, she is dead; It
sleeps well, the horned head: We
poor lads, ’tis our turn now. To hear
such tunes as killed the cow! Pretty
friendship 'tis to rhyme Your friends
to death before their time Moping
melancholy mad! Come, pipe a tune
to dance to, lad!"
Why, if 'tis dancing you would be,
There's brisker pipes than poetry. Say,
for what were hop-yards meant, Or why
was Burton built on Trent? Oh many a
peer of England brews Livelier liquor
than the Muse, And malt does more than
Milton can To justify God's ways to man.
Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink For
fellows whom it hurts to think: Look into
the pewter pot To see the world as the
world's not. And faith, 'tis pleasant till 'tis
past: The mischief is that 'twill not last.
Oh I have been to Ludlow fair And left
my necktie God knows where, And
carried half way home, or near, Pints
and quarts of Ludlow beer: Then the
world seemed none so bad, And I myself
a sterling lad; And down in lovely muck
I've lain, Happy till I woke again. Then I
saw the morning sky: Heigho, the tale
was all a lie; The world, it was the old
world yet, I was I, my things were wet,
And nothing now remained to do But
begin the game anew.
Therefore, since the world has
still Much good, but much less
good than ill, And while the sun
and moon endure Luck's a
chance, but trouble's sure, I'd
face it as a wise man would,
And train for ill and not for good.
'Tis true, the stuff I bring for sale
Is not so brisk a brew as ale:
Out of a stem that scored the
hand I wrung it in a weary land.
But take it: if the smack is sour,
The better for the embittered
hour; It should do good to heart
and head When your soul is in
my soul's stead; And I will friend
you, if I may, In the dark and
cloudy day.
There was a king reigned in the East:
There, when kings will sit to feast, They
get their fill before they think With
poisoned meat and poisoned drink. He
gathered all the springs to birth From
the many-venomed earth; First a little,
thence to more, He sampled all her
killing store; And easy, smiling,
seasoned sound, Sate the king when
healths went round. They put arsenic in
his meat And stared aghast to watch
him eat; They poured strychnine in his
cup And shook to see him drink it up:
They shook, they stared as white's their
shirt: Them it was their poison hurt. --I
tell the tale that I heard told. Mithridates,
he died old.

What is the overall scene?
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide,
But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride;
And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf,
And there lay the rider distorted and pale,
And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf.
With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail:
And the tents were all silent, the banners alone,
The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown.
And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail,
And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal;
And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!

I want them to waterski

I taste a liquor never brewed,
From tankards scooped in pearl;
Not all the vats upon the Rhine
Yield such an alcohol! Inebriate of air
am I,
And debauchee of dew,
Reeling, through endless summer days,
From inns of molten blue.
When landlords turn the drunken bee
Out of the foxglove's door,
When butterflies renounce their drams,
I shall but drink the more!
Till seraphs swing their snowy hats,
And saints to windows run,
To see the little tippler
Leaning against the sun!

her body bombarded for years by the element

It seems she denied to the end

As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to

burn, and make me new. I, like an usurped
town, to another due,
Labour to admit you, but Oh, to no end.
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should
defend,
But is captived, and proves weak or untrue.
Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved
fain,
But am betrothed unto your enemy:
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

HISTORY TEACHER
Trying to protect his students' innocence
he told them the Ice Age was really just
the Chilly Age, a period of a million years
when everyone had to wear sweaters.
The children would leave his classroom
for the playground to torment the weak
and the smart,
mussing up their hair and breaking their glasses,
And the Stone Age became the Gravel Age,
named after the long driveways of the time.
while he gathered up his notes and walked home
past flower beds and white picket fences,
wondering if they would believe that soldiers
in the Boer War told long, rambling stories
designed to make the enemy nod off.
The Spanish Inquisition was nothing more
than an outbreak of questions such as
"How far is it from here to Madrid?"
"What do you call the matador's hat?"
What do the historical references have
in common?
The War of the Roses took place in a garden,
and the Enola Gay dropped one tiny atom on Japan.

If by dull rhymes our English must be chain'd,
And, like Andromeda, the Sonnet sweet
Fetter'd, in spite of pained loveliness,

Sandals more interwoven and complete
To fit the naked foot of Poesy:
Let us inspect the Lyre, and weigh the stress
Of every chord, and see what may be gain'd
By ear industrious, and attention meet;
Misers of sound and syllable, no less
Than Midas of his coinage, let us be
Jealous of dead leaves in the bay wreath crown;
So, if we may not let the Muse be free,
She will be bound with garlands of her own.

The love we thought would never stop

The kisses that were hot as curry
are bird-pecks taken in a hurry.

The feet that ran to meet a date
are running slow and running late.
The eyes that shone and seldom shut
are victims of a power cut.
The parts that then transmitted joy
are now reserved and cold and coy.
Romance, expected once to stay,

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
What is the tone?
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Bright topaz denizens of a world of green.
They do not fear the men beneath the tree;
They pace in sleek chivalric certainty.

wool
Find even the ivory needle hard to pull.
The massive weight of Uncle's wedding band

Still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.
