KEEP IN TOUCH
Half a phone number
Left on a scrap of paper:
Another door shuts.
SALOON BAR PHILOSOPHY
Small compensation
To see staggering the fly
Fished from my brandy.
FAREWELL CONCERT
Rain beats the garden.
The blackbirds sing for supper.
Worms must love music.
FIGUERAS
In Dali's birthplace,
This June afternoon, the sky,
Smeared by giant slugs.
SHELF LIFE
Ulysses loiters;
Freud dreams while Kropotkin plots;
Rabelais revels.
