Tom Murphy "Overblown by a Host of Imperial Contradictions, I Reminisce"

Overblown by a Host of Imperial Contradictions, I Reminisce
about a Simpler Time in a Safer Place

all the blank spots collected in one heap. as

articulate and conventional. one hill of them

without butterflies. or dogs. or kites. but say

an arrangement of happinesses down the other

side away from town. here we mope and jingle

our fine nuisance away. cramped by a question.
