"where would they carry me?"

(Self-Portrait by William Carlos William)

"Summer Song"

Wanderer moon
smiling a
faintly ironical smile
at this
brilliant, dew-moistened
summer morning,—
a detached
sleepily indifferent smile,
a wanderer's smile,—
if I should
buy a shirt
your color and
put on a necktie
sky-blue
where would they carry me?

(Poetry Month!)
