VORTICISM
It is only a mad bull bellowing
At the ‘city gate’. As
Consistent as Spring -
The visitation has
Doubled the tourist trade.
What to make of it... this
Mad bull? And
Why does he
Choose
The City Gate?
Perhaps it is a forewarning
Of bastardry to come – or
A lament
Of those
Now passed...
The hair stands up along
My spine. Sonorously
His hooves thump out
The rhythm:
Yes! No!
Yes!
No!
