Race on the computer
Letter after letter, word on word,
Then the line forms, the verse,
And then another verse,
And all these verses yet more verse beget:
And the whole at one time
Stop like the caesura: the poem’s ended.
Whether a fragment or with satisfaction
The lyric poet-seer his lips will lick
The poem’s ended; the curtains fall.
