"Advice From a Head"

by Evan Harrison

 

Buy lowly in a feed of grace it’s said,
sell highly blind and ruby-throated.

Determine loosely enough for the search.
Justify use under the following bridge

to the conquered inland. It goes:
hope little. Use the serrated one for that.

Diversify in the bald patch of some copse
you manage to figure. Really stop cleaning the glass.

Deposit a theory in the gutter, bank or mud.
Haunt that choice.  Invest in a voice

from the satellitic clutter and cordon
every hint of longing tenor. Crook and bumble.

Quick tip: exscrounge.  Withdraw a monolith, bury it
on paper, so the digger gets dirty and in falls straight.
