1t Is almost impossible to pick vi
a magazine nowadays that does no
contain one or more examples OF alb
ortive poetry designated vers libre.
Even the daily papers are falling into
the habit and as the Journal makes
ptetentiens toward being UP to date
here is it's contributions to the high
brow poe,ical fad:
Dirt
The dirt on my hands is immortal,
wash II off today.
Twill come again tomorrow.
No use,
Not ALI the water in the seven seas,
Where play the mermaids with salt
in their eyes,
Can Danish dirt
Perms nently.
When drop from sight.
,rhru the loose meshed bottom OF time,
Dirt win settle on my sons hands.
And his sons sons
Even TO the trillionth generation.
Soon much dirt win weight me down
Until am also dirt.
Then ! shall cling unto my grand
sons hands.
Or. preferably, hide behind his ears,
Where 7 shall rest for days and days,
That cloud OF smudge upon your nose
my dear,
May be a lingering bit OF Adam.
~what, VIII those hands ne'er be
clean?
Pass the soap please.
