Plautus and Tarzan
The plays of Plautus all repose in peace
Next to my boyhood’s tattered Tarzan books
University classes and summer days
I suppose Mercury brought his own vines
Kafka is up against Rilke and Parzival
They seem to get along with each other
Cavafy and Plath talk out their issues
As do Hammarskjold and Dostoyevsky
I mean to organize my books someday
But Thoreau suggests I go fishing instead

Just this one time, I will not argue with Thoreau.
He has his moments: "Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in."
