I love you unproductively
In sloth
In slack
For no purpose
Loving you will not
Make us richer
Or more important
I love you the sun rises
Grasshoppers hop
Sea lions roar
(Do sea lions roar?)
The shadow of the clock
In the city square
Expands and recedes
Throughout the day
Not here
(I must picture a De Chirico painting
To see this)
We do not have
City squares or plazas
But lines of cars
That project no shadows
Only waves of heat & sound
As they move toward
Something distant
Painting by Anni Albers
