Two Poems by R L Swihart
Rattigan Glumphoboo
In their case the two curves cross once a day
They never speak in English and Klee is their chi-rho
Today’s fare: Polish and The Creator
Their clothes and underthings are on the chair
Something I didn’t get and something I didn’t get
Which I’ll quickly fill with: Come! Come! Furioso, let’s sail
And now, because I can, I confuse us with them
