Today I saw a curiosity
In a shop window
A faint writing etched in glass
But as I drew near it vanished in a haze
Then, once further on, it appeared to me
In a vagrant cloud
As if blotted on the plume
But as I observed it faded in a wisp
Words–unclear–that I struggled long to read
In that fleeting glimpse
To no avail my eyes strained
But presently appeared to be too distant
Then, in the night, upon my pillow crept
And as my eyes closed
Read clear, impressed upon my brain
The thought my eye reflected was: “uoy ssim I”
‘She recalls that piece of paper on which he
scrawled βWords are the pegs on which experience
is hung out to dry.β ‘
But you, my dear, can get damn close at time. Thank you.
