cerusee: a white redheaded girl in a classroom sitting by the window chewing on a pencil and looking bored (the bitterest man in the living room)

April is National Poetry Month! Jack Spicer, "A Red Wheelbarrow"

Missed one. Thank heavens for backdating!

Jack Spicer, on William Carlos Williams


A Red Wheelbarrow

Rest and look at this goddamned wheelbarrow. Whatever
It is. Dogs and crocodiles, sunlamps. Not
For their significance.
For their significant. For being human
The signs escape you. You, who aren't very bright
Are a signal for them. Not,
I mean, the dogs and crocodiles, sunlamps. Not
Their significance.
