“And mostly I believe the artists further
the systematic murder of the real”
Dennis Lee, Nightwatch
“It would be better maybe if we could stop loving the children
and their delicate brawls, pelting across the square in tandem, deking
from cover to cover in raucous celebration and they are never
winded, bemusing us with the rites of our own
gone childhood; if only they stopped
mattering, the children, it might be possible, now
while the square lies stunned by noon.”
Dennis Lee, Nightwatch
“How empire permeates!”
Dennis Lee, Nightwatch
“Skyscraper Skyscraper, skyscraper, Scrape me some sky: Tickle the sun While the stars go by. Tickle the stars While the sun’s climbing high, Then skyscraper, skyscraper Scrape me some sky.”
Dennis Lee, Alligator Pie
“I Found a Silver Dollar I found a silver dollar, But I had to pay the rent. I found an alligator But his steering-wheel was bent. I found a little monkey, So I took him to the zoo. Then I found a sticky kiss and so I brought it home to you.”
Dennis Lee, Alligator Pie
