More Than Words Can Mean

Ink window, contra Sagar—
It’s true the things are the words
That the words say the things are.

This is the small difference
Between being a forty-
Something poet of the world

And being a sixtyish
Hermit in America—
Verbal irony for you

Has to be ironed out flat
For the latter. Things are words
Since words thing more than words mean.
