TAMPA, FLORIDA

 
 
Tampa, Florida
 
To sting a centipede around
A pineapple bend, on a peach - - truth is
Studied on the breast - - abysmally 

A picture of a tramp is being excruciated
Betwixt a splintered park bent bench

And truthfully
And in Africa 
A pink pygmy 
Sits stupidly on a bamboo spear
In the hark wide open jungle
 
****
from The Poems of Alfred Starr Hamilton, The Jargon Society, 1970
