Hegel's
Holiday
|
another
nasty letter from Kant
EVERYTHING
YOU KNOW IS WRONG
he's
never left his village.
The
old man heaves to
the
fireplace again. Feuerbach
won't
be back. ungrateful
foldings
of shabby clothing.
when
Magritte came to visit
back
when the world was new
who
said that? a reverberation he
brought
with him in a hat
saying
'this is very important
I
come from the future' we all
met
in the park where fountains
circle,
he closed his palms and
disappeared
- this cheery red
painting
- he seemed so
affectionate
the afternoon
froze
warmly it could not
have
been a better day or life
what
do you do when you
reach
the very apex they kept
asking
over and over like
it
would never happen
you
bite it off, an icecream cone end
with
a candy inside on a summer's day
oho!
the glass, the water, the
umbrella
- now I get it.
he
sits in his chair and rocks
back
and forth and back
