ICELANDIC CONNECTION
Vol. 63 # 1
Poetry
by Eric McKinnon
Organized Disarray
On the coffee table
Clustered magazines sit.
I breathless stand and watch
The pile make sport of gravity.
Depravity would dictate
That I intensify the chaos.
Laos in Thirty Days
Of Sightseeing Travel
Unravel, you conglomerate of thought.
And fall to carpet.
Carpetbaggers, The
Made an entertaining read.
Indeed, I have it all —
Trash and classic in juxtaposition.
Any supposition that I dwell in disarray
Is slanderous and groundless.
Boundless am I in my literary pursuits,
The pile shows it.
Grows it?
Oh, yes. Daily.
