Description drag off the cats from the mud of my words
to around the corner
                                  where
I throw them in a bag.

                                    Then drop them
down into the river from my home to the next

OH WHY OH WHY DO LITTLE CATS CRY
AS THEY FLOAT MERRILY DOWN?

Then throw them, all and all, into my little notebook,
to drown them and old possum in   acrid   black     ink.

Yes, TS Eliot. I don't like him, but I read him out of want to wholeness-es sake when it comes to a poetry compilation I just got.

That said, I don't like him because he has no flow. Its all very rigid. That, and the tone makes me think of un-practiced poets. Notgood,notgood,notgood.
