The Wild Boar Of Sunday Morning

By Tony Brown

I’m so diamond
the mirror is terrified
of me — no, not that,
not that glamor —

I’m so oak,
acorns rush to my bosom
even after I’m table and chairs.

So coal tar shampoo,
so rough washcloth,
so pumice soap,
dirt’s gone and put me on wanted posters.

I’m so eggplant
eggplant drunk dials me
and whines,
“Why don’t you ever call?”

Hard, ruthless, delicious.
I’m the Wild Boar Of Sunday Morning!

No, not that —

I’m the smile of the mundane
that knows
you don’t get far
without stopping for me.

    Hi, we just started a new blog on tango history…each day we post an event that
    happened that day in tango history…it can be the birth of a famous singer,
    composer of poet, the debut of a film or the recording of a famous tango song…
    you can even search tango principles according to their sun sign

    Can you help spread the word by letting your students know about it or placing
    a link on your blog…there is no advertising or money involved…we’re
    not selling anything, we simply love tango and in particular tango history…we
    welcome any suggestions…..

    If you come to Rome, please let us know…we would be glad to welcome you
    and show you around; my wife and I love meeting and being with people…thanks, have a
    nice day…well here is the link http://todayintango.wordpress.com/
