A hears by chance a familiar name, and the name solves a
riddle of the past.
The madhouse statuary seemed to dispel the pre-life
we gave it.
For all I know I was meant to be one of those marchers
into a microtonal near-future whose pile has worn away—
as was proven
when they entered the house
The blackboard is erased in the attic
And the wind turns up the light of the stars,
John Ashbery, The New Spirit
Silly girls your heads full of boys
There is a last sample of talk on the outer side
You are my most favorite artist. Though I know
very little about your work. Some of your followers I know:
Then I reached the field and I thought
this is not a joke not a book
My sister and I don’t seem to get along too well anymore.
She always has to have everything new in her house. Cherished ideals
The deep water in the travel poster finds me
In the change as I was about to back away
The immense hope, and forbearance
Trailing out of night, to sidewalks of the day
Impatient as we were for all of them to join us,
The land had not yet risen into view: gulls had swept the gray steel towers away

And when you are finally caught and questioned, it is discovered, sadly, that you know nothing of use. Your captors exchange glances, nod. You are released in the freedom of some afternoon,
Let us console you.
Music’s the answer.
