   "116.

I,was,old,very,young: I,was,all,
Mirrors: I,was,all,
Over,and,under,beside,and,around,

Inspecting,me. I,found,God's,
Unbearable,beauty!
I,found,His,thoughts,in,my,mind,

His,skull,in,my,hand! ...
I,could,not,lay,
God's,skull,aside. I,preferred,suicide."

--Jos* Garcia Villa


"Pablo the Ur-realist
Faced by his 'Guernica'
And the Gestapo officer's hiss
'Did you do this!'
Said gently, you did."

--Zukofsky, A 12.
