Happy Birthday Ezra Pound (10/30) by Anthony Madrid

EZRA POUND (10/30)

Ailanthus, amphetamines, power lines downed
Happy birthday, Ezra Pound

Bell, book, and candle, and half the set drowned
Happy birthday, Ezra Pound

Inflatable raft at the Lost and Found
Happy birthday, Ezra Pound

The Pez dispenser says See ya around
Happy birthday, Ezra Pound

Happy birthday, Ezra Pound!!!
The bubbling subway is apt to astound

The spool’s undone, the thread’s unwound
Happy birthday, Ezra Pound
