Fall 2003 - Volume 26, Number 1

American Formalism

some old lady
stitched a stripe
to show new york
a star to show new
jersey a well dressed
man played the sound
of a railroad on
a piano a lonely
neighborhood
invented a religion
in a dark wood some
boys created a country
like they were dreaming
up a novel and
when indians look
for consolation in
pollock's paint-splattered
canvasses they might
shudder to find
their grandfathers'
pipe dreams paralleled as
washington, jefferson,
and adams
turn prairies
into stars and
rivers into
stripes
