Mr. K said   in times of great crudity

    it is necessary   to be subtle

    so please wrap around me

    with awkward grace

    I may have suffered some Rilke Damage

    or do I just have a little trouble

    with fantasy tripwires

    while engrossed in the sky's lexicon

    & hills like purple pachyderms

    "there's been a great upsurgence"

    said the announcer   but I didn't catch

    what of   & what of where

    does it come from where does it go

    still asking   on down the road
