         Now is No Time


                   A look  full glance
                    the head turned round
                    returned
                    by a walking girl
                    swinging her skirt

                    we follow through
                    the evening street
                    now fallow
                    with the summer heat

                    lone girl
                    bare feet walking
                    turning in a doorway
                    out of the heat
                    and passion
                       simmers
                    in the street

                    thinking all the time
                    ideas all the time tangle

                    a blue pool
                    lies in the lap
                    of green willows

                    a synthetic idea
                    compounded by

                    a bridge

                    bone china

                    lulling labels
                    advertise fables

                    now is no time
