Cold Water

Author: Christopher Morley [More Titles by Morley]

But when I turn the crank
O Zeus!
A silver ecstasy thrills me!
I caper and slap my chilled thighs,
I plan to make a card index of all my ideas
And feel like an efficiency expert.
I tweak Fate by the nose
And know I could succeed in _anything_.
I throw up my head
And glut myself with icy splatter...
To-day I will really
Begin my career!

[The end]
Christophe Morley's poem: Cold Water
