Paralipsis

Today we will not discuss
this thing called life.
Today we will sing of the sun.

Today we will avoid the subject of Pound
while singing the sun
Pound spoke of.

It is good to feel the sun on our faces.
When the war of wits is over
we will avoid the subject of Thomas
and bask in the birthlight singing
for the stepping out.

Today we will set aside
the dust and page.
We will deliver Pound and Thomas
to the earth
where the sun does not shine,
only dust.

We will step into the open air
and feel the sun on our faces
while singing sunsongs
for the Pound and Thomas
of that life which sings.
