1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Smith

Smith lives noisily upon the grassy hill.
He shouts he cries he yells he sings.
The voice coming from him gives a shrill.
He ponders wants talks flys with wings.
Smith don't care
How others fare
He knows everything as long as its about
Himself.
Smith looks fine
Has smoothest line
He craves everything but never has no
Wealth.
Smith climbs his dreams on his grassy hill.
He grunts he pants he tries he dies.
And he has no one for whom to write a will.
At the bottom he broken crumpled lies.
