Princeling
homage to J. Cornell

(continued)

By Christopher Mulrooney

I have written to you all these very things
the sleight of hand
the target practice  
the isolated theme spots
the remarkable effluvia
the OK standard panjandrums of very misery
and the audiences thereof
where had we all even started
where had we all to end up
asking our several questions of a
princeling
the pharmacopœia of all desires
in the silken toolbox
where you go hard hunting
with a bleak escapade
you can actually fight this woe-burn
at home in the Pink Palace
you can not admit it
you can hear the music
the silent music silvery
the loud music or
the plaque on which Richard Wagner appears
at his hotel in Paris
the opening of the world
the serene Chardin
the capacity of portraits
do.
do.
the sea as applied to all techniques
and for that matter all astronomy
where you can stay in the mind
as long as necessary
or as wished
to the end of time
or the beginning of time
or anywhere in between
as you can understand these things
back and forth
from the beginning of times
to the very last of things descried
the ones you had dreamed of
