Lines inspired by James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake   Leave a comment

Kloster of the Dunedain was raised in

Yeomansland, near Carthage, during the

Lefanunian Resistance War. Thin

Izolde waited at home—Penelopia.

Angoisse turtles (from the Maine Land) captured

Tytonyhands of Drischool, and murdered

Vlossyhair of Parkland. In the Rapture,

Presepeprosapia (a Word Nerd)

Was abducted from Finntown, taken to

Summerhill by lazy men in shirt sleeves.

Tomley Entecoperra fought the Crew,

Along with P. Shuter and Justice Jeeves.

  If this be error, and a pawn be moved,

  Einstein’s clever theory was never proved.

Rendro allyoop. We regard this day. Allen fried potatoes. Ane Brun sang Schubertiad. With harmony from Kate and Anna McGarrigle.

A poem for today:

Sideways Versions

 

Sideways versions of soap opera pardons:

Dedalus and Calypso, languishing

In Ithaca, are brought to environs

Of broguish silence, even as they sing.

 

In this way they practice a better way

Of being, in magnitude with the stars…

A decent man, named Bloom, is set to play

A significant role, driving the car.

 

Practical portals, for internal feuds,

Bring Dedalus and Calypso to Bloom–

Joining as passengers in his car, dude.

And goddess, with the artist Leo Bloom!

 

  Architect of archetypes, Mister Joyce staged

  A novel of a day, filled many page.
