SHORT TAKES by Anselm Hollo
LOS SEDENTARIOS
most of the time we sit down to write 'sitting down' down
Mark Twain made a contraption
enabled him to be funny in bed in writing
Goethe and Hemingway
risked varicose veins at the highdesk
sitting down we get fat round the ass
short poems
not too frequent
are the least fattening
if you're sitting down while reading this now is the time to get up
ELEGY
VISITORS FROM TIBET
A Cock Signifying Craving S Greed A Snake Signifying Wrath 6 Passion A Pig Signifying Ignorance S Delusion
they just decided to drop in
but i tell them all GETTAHELLOUTTAHERE'.
The Western Way
the laundry-basket lid is still there though badly chewed up by the cat but time has devoured the cat entirely
THE RESEMBLANCE
hey did you see the man who looked like a camel we saw in the zoo who looked just like a man we saw in the street who looked at you just like a camel?
it is a poem
but is it   the trewf? says the daughter
it is (he said somewhere inside) that so many things tho not here   are true
Battersea Power Station for instance   and you
the proof   the trewf?
in the thinking, the loving
fire and heat and smoke
and the light
at the ends of the grid
our fingertips touching lit up those days
right now it is raining in Iowa City but it ain't rainin in my heart nor on my head because my head it wears a big floppy heart ha-ha
it wears a big floppy heart
ANSELM HOLLO is Finnish, but had lived for ten years in England when he bought a house on the Isle of Wight, which feat accomplished - he moved to Iowa City where he has been teaching, writing, translating, listening to the Incredible String Band for the past few years. Cape/Goliard has just published a large selection, MAYA.
