Perfection

   ~ for William Carlos Williams

The perfection of that
fucking red wheel barrow
that caused such grief;
those damned white chickens
that brought no relief.
How many readers foundered
upon these images?
How many would be poets
took to truck driving
and went completely daft?

A complete novel in four well crafted sentences. We all know that wheel barrow and those chickens (mine were black and white fyi)e.
