Calvin's Classic Poems in Pastel Number Two

Viceroyalty

Haliburton spoke
to red Elizabeth
today. The whooping cranes
are in the willows. Send
the pillows softly and
forget the coffee stains
completely; I will need
the old Mercator maps
as soon as you discover
Argentina. Turn
your wheel around and face
the mirror in the sea.
It looks like Queen Anne’s lace
in sensitivity.
