Aesthetic Realism Looks at New York City: Poetry
Robert Clairmont
BEAUTIFUL LONG BLONDE HAIR LEGEND
Just after rain
Sun blazed low down Broadway:
Was then
Silhouette
John Johns
Walked along big plate glass windows;
Was then
Profile
John Johns
Blotted Jersey shore;
Was then
Beautiful long blonde hair
John Johns
Blazed awful;
WAS THEN
BEAUTIFUL LONG BLONDE HAIR
JOHN JOHNS
BLAZED AWFUL!
John Johns' hair
Blazed like no hair yet;
John Johns' hair
Blazed like no hair can;
John Johns' hair
Blazed like no
Beautiful long blonde hair
Beautiful long blonde hair
Yet,
Can blaze, or,
Will yet.
