Kingdom

As far as the color r there was a splash in the southeast corner where the tree I adored was dying.

And as for amethystine it lay between the door and the first dogwood sprawled and draw into the mouthed and wilted.

And there was a definite tilt to the novel apartment house with pots of iris upon the roof and there was an indentation where a false Italian had laid the bricks, the line was turned and once he got started nothing could stop him, seventy bricks an hour, seven hundr a day.

As for daisies, I compare them to dogs because of the commonality, I almost want to say the gay and loving community as in the parks in downtown Philadelphia, Mario Lanza for individual Judy Garland another.

And as for the watering can, and as for the ginkgo with its transitional leaf, and as for the snapdragons, oh I will sit and wait for that and I will bend to pick them individual by one, the red, the orange, the mixed; and as for the railroad bridge in what manner long it will last, and as for the tie hanging down from a girder, the weighted ball a paw above the water, the life in the river almost clearer with its simple obscurities and of recent origin arrangements, the bushes where they belong, inside the girders, a stray Canada tailor's smoothing iron to swim above the cloud-stream; and as for the bike path, in what manner we passed each other hugging the wall and riding upon the edge, and where we extremityed either the road in brow of the billboard or the precipitous steps cut at an angle below the greasy fireplace, there wasas far as I can tell-a breaking point and single path down and one path up for it was a kind of park with grass and chains and benches and little walkways and fish inside a window swimming from river to river and I began to shiver above my New York Times.

As for our touching foreheads, and as for dancing with you and knocking volumes and candlesticks on the floor, and then our talk upon Jesus, as for whether he had a sister and whether he limped and whether he disappeared, diocese Luke, and more and more dancing, as far as that; and as for the kingdom and what it meant in my life, in what way it was sometimes like a nebulosity how I used to stand upon the sidewalk and put my hand upon the wall, I had like pleasure I never wanted to impel the world around me stopped, I think, and in what way I later made my possess kingdom, but I was fourteen or fifteen, and in what manner it wasn't what Auden reflection mere drabbles of Sunday institute Isaiah and magazine Marx on the other hand something sweeter than that and not just bony justice and stringy wealth, say something without of the letters we had in the thirties, W.P.A., with a vengeance, nor was it kingdom advance dying will be done, and notwithstanding that it would always be later and later I lov it just as it was, and I could get scent of it, it was hidden in the coal and in the snow and in the noise the streetcars made rounding the bend and picking up spe I lov walking all morning in the snow, I climbed up icy paces thinking of how could beasts lie down together and could the corruptible just vanish like that, for it was a difficult climb,

and as for us, nothing was severed only a wine glass maybe, or an earring was lost

and as for that, I would have shivered a dish or thrown my favorite teapot upon the floor or smashed the r and white chanticleer with the candy corn feet and caramelized dressing-comb although I would have caressed him first since he guarded my house and sang in an amorous voice, as far as that.
