One hundred twenty-five today || Madrid is keeping score || A very happy birthday to || the incomparable Marianne Moore
An amber-tinted philatelist || inhabits the ocean floor || A very happy birthday to || the incomparable Marianne Moore
Reactor core with its rods || I don’t even know what they’re for || A very happy birthday to || the incomparable Marianne Moore
♣
Silk, taffeta, velvet, velour || for the conqueror Marianne Moore
And there’s plenty more action in store || for the carnivore Marianne Moore
And nary a Larry
who doesn’t adore
the dodge and the parry
of Marianne Moore!
The incomparable Marianne Moore!
♣
She “digesteth harde yron.”
