“The midgets stand on giants who stand on midgets
in Palookaville
that day of storm notwithstanding and it still takes one
on out to the “farther reaches” where boys play and maids bay
at the moon
in my Palookaville
where the stench of farts drenches outside irony with the dust of snow
where all is served up right
to blond kids in history books on the gothic outskirts
where everything gets unraveled just right
where you can see a coincidence coming for miles down the valley..."
   -- from "From Palookaville," John Ashbery
