Scandal

________________________________________________
Title:     Scandal
Author: Lola Ridge [More Titles by Ridge]

Aren't there bigger things to talk about
Than a window in Greenwich Village
And hyacinths sprouting
Like little puce poems out of a sick soul?
Some cosmic hearsay--
As to whom--it can't be Mars! put the moon--that way....
Or what winds do to canyons
Under the tall stars...
Or even
How that old roue, Neptune,
Cranes over his bald-head moons
At the twinkling heel of a sky-scraper.

[The end]
Lola Ridge's poem: Scandal
