ponytail

ponytail includes the poem when Auden spoke

what would Auden have said

of this preliminary sensation

a swift and clean needle to the back of the neck

dispensing a fluid cool to the brain

surely more punctuation than this

he came over here a long time ago

and nailed the place

knew what plains and spiders meant

and how to get around and out

we didn't pay attention though

stuck around we did

reinventing fire and the little granpappy wheel
