Chinoiserie Valentine

In one of my Chinoiserie moods
I drop the tea set on the floor
And sail off for Europe
 
Anxious to share the latest
Techniques of sand-painting
And the new meditative postures
 
In the beer-halls of Berlin
And through the small towns
Where Holderlin walked back
 
To his silent asylum
Of unspeakable joy
Unspeakable horror
 
Then on to the Americas
Which don’t exist yet
But I can wait
