More poetry jots by Andrew Barke

Holden fans wave their flags
in Ford fans’ faces

The automobile is a wheelchair.


Balinese drape gods
in checkered cloth

*

we are numerous,
Oppen said

singleminded & focused

poems change up
minor to major

*

all poetry is derivative

no tradition without
revolution throwing over
the balustrades

ant’s a centaur in his dragon world


*

automobile quote, Nicanor Parra; ant quote, Ezra Pound
