Scanning the news this week for appropriate context, the news was so bad,
I decided to take a break until next week and simply quote William Carlos Williams,
and focus this week on only the artists below. I hope you understand.
“It is difficult to get the news from poems,
yet men die miserably every day
for lack of what is found there.”
William Carlos Williams

secretary of Gardner Cigarette and Vending,
when the manager of the Tobacco Warehouse
next door delivered me in tow to her office.
He was drinking out of the “Colored” spigot.
You need to learn him not to mix with them kind,
storming out when Mom had no further comment.
