A GREAT TIME IT IS.

A prose poem by Julia:

THE SUMMER VACATIONS
When people go to summer vacation in Europe there are languages. A month or two ago I went to Spain. They can have different cultures. Maybe there would be a king and queen in Spain and not in the United States. You walk and see. I like the museums. A great time it is.

I like that girl’s style.

    I’m not sure she meant it as a “prose poem.” It just sort of turned out that way.

    Sorry, I don’t believe in the author’s intention. If I say it’s a prose poem, it’s a prose poem. (She is older than the rocks among which she sits; like the vampire, she has been dead many times, and learned the secrets of the grave; and has been a diver in deep seas, and keeps their fallen day about her…)

    I agree. It is indeed a prose poem. The father of the poet’s intention matters, if possible, even less than the poet’s intention.

Speak Your Mind
