(W. C. Williams v. Wallace Stevens)
Too much
depends
on rubbing Plato's nose
in glazed materiality:
red wheel barrow,
white chickens in rain—
decals.
Plums, cold and sweet,
fat, plunked fatuities,
boink from the blue guitar.
A harmonium harrumphs,
wheezes and tweets
fictive Muzak.
Satiric comparison of plain style (W.C. Wiliams) and elegant style (Wallace Stevens) . See Stevens's 'To One of Fictive Music' (vs. Muzak) .
