ROME,
A MOBILE HOME
1
Between each gesture of the arm and the ball castoff to some
distant alley, the eye moves still, foreigner to the other talkative
physical things, the imagination of each geographic sequel and
great instrumental fusion with our own piece of mirrored
breathing suggesting syntactical essences:
Caesar’s army Caesar’s earphones Brutus’s valise Caesar’s saw
Brutus’s arrow Brutus’s clothespin Caesar’s pin Brutus’s apple.
Planets and chairs, wheels, Caesar’s syntax links up the spaces
separating Roman cities, his signs hold up the stars: Sid Caesar,
Jack Nicholson, Broderick Crawford, Benito Mussolini.
