No Help for That | Jackie Clark

Repetition: a trying, a formula

or

Heightened panoramic uncertainty

A talking about; a talking, a bout

or

What is left to imagine?

I can not read what you are saying

Serendipity behooves progress,

as is clumsy this space—

(a real pale by comparison)

Repetition: a trying, a failure

or

Another drink, another drink, a cheap rhyme—

(a form without form)

I asked if you were from the neighborhood and you asked me which
like a nomenclature—

(a source to be cited: clout)

You are painting the round,

an initial left small in the corner
