What it WCW? Why count women? Where commences Wiona? What climbs warily?
ReplyDeleteHe means William Carlos Williams, o foreign-sounding person...
ReplyDeleteit's either that or Walgreen's Cream for Women
it helps avoid that cracked-leather look all-over
Sunday Poetry Brunch?
(new poetry at Flaneur)
Duh!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray Man! (Though actually I like Walgreen's Cream for Women better--I'm gonna get some today! Chlorine--it's skin's worst enemy!)
If you read this with an Elmer Fudd voice, it's "Wesist the cwacking weather," in which case WCW stands for Wesist Cwacking Weather...
ReplyDeleteThe quotation marks suggest that this is found poetry--an excerpt from a letter, perhaps. Found poetry is Williams-like, but opacity isn't. "I wanted to write a poem/ that you would understand..."
I'm not saying the poem is opaque. I think I "got it," but apparently CJ found it cryptic.
I heard this one in Claymation--"Cracking idea, Gromit!"
