rejection slip
Christopher Mulrooney

the area of our unconcern
is so vast
only the marble statuary on our lots
can last

will the Mænads of the Common Room
jig to it
with their goggle-eyed disciples in a
wig to wit

conjugating for the class "accessibility"
at the blackboard
as what-you-will not Modern
like a buckboard?

not that anything we like
is Amish
Christ's folk always seem too
Uncle Tomish
