1967 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


"The Breath of Unreality"

Call me the "Hook". A menace to reality.
Take the life of the nation and put it in my hands.
		A Life--------------
		A Nation -----------------
The "Hook" is good --
But not what life to behold --
"Hook"
They call out unwittingly and take off the word they call
Unreal.
		What manner of speaking is this ----
...........................The end?
A life for a word.
The word -----------------
Take my hand and let me cure you
		Saith the "Hook".
And catch on to something right ----------
		WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY and HOW
Die and it is gone.
