From "The Riddle of Flat Circles"

分类: 英语诗歌 
  by Aaron Fogel

    The Romans got their circling powers

    From a corps of Hellenic mathematicians.

    Rome——the container-skull, the fountainhead——

    Lookout holes calling itself Reason.

    Against her Spain——Maya uprisings——against that grip——

    People with terra cotta plus bluegrass flesh——

    Flights, transhumance y more or less dispoblado.

    Two conch-shaped continents boisterously Romesqued.

    The merry die young. The sad, guarded

    And anxious live long lives.  The really grim

    Are immortal.  Continue the anti-anti-census.

    Capitulate to no Romes.

    Heliodemography is the study of the population

    Of the sun.  Mrs. Smith lives there with the Mister.

    Through an art-of-the-state telescope Iris observes

    Cantilevered Yiddish‘s stern stars.
