At This Precise Moment of History

1. At this precise moment of history With Goody-two-shoes running for Congress We are testing supersonic engines To keep God safe in the cherry tree. When I said so in this space last Thursday I meant what I said: power struggles. 2. You would never dream of such corn. The colonials in sandalwood like running wide open and available for protection. You can throw them away without a refund. 3. Dr. Hanfstaengel who was not called Putzi except by those who did not know him is taped in the national archives. J. Edgar Hoover he ought to know And does know. But calls Dr. Hanfstaengel Putzi nevertheless Somewhere on tape in the Archives. He (Dr. H.) is not a silly man. He left in disgust About the same time Shirley Temple Sat on Roosevelt’s knee An accomplished pianist A remembered personality. He (Dr. H.) began to teach Immortal anecdotes To his mother a Queen Bee In the American colony. 4. What is your attitude toward historical subjects? —Perhaps it’s their size! 5. When I said this in space you would never believe Corn Colonel was so expatriated. —If you think you know, Take this wheel And become standard. 6. She is my only living mother This bee of the bloody arts Bandaging victims of Saturday’s dance Like a veritable sphinx In a totally new combination. 7. The Queen Mother is an enduring vignette at an early age. Now she ought to be kept in submersible decompression chambers For a while. 8. What is your attitude toward historical subjects Like Queen Colonies? —They are permanently fortified For shape retention. 9. Solid shades Seven zippered pockets Close to my old place Waiting by the road Big disk brakes Spinoff Zoom Long lights stabbing at the Two together piggyback In a stark sports roadster Regretting his previous outburst Al loads his Cadillac With lovenests. 10. She is my only living investment She examines the housing industry Counts 3.5 million postwar children Turning twenty-one And draws her own conclusion In the commercial fishing field. 11. Voice of little sexy ventriloquist mignonne: “Well I think all of us are agreed and sincerely I my- self believe that honest people on both sides have got it all on tape. Governor Reagan thinks that nuclear wampums are a last resort that ought not to be re- sorted.” (But little mignonne went right to the point with: “We have a commitment to fulfill and we better do it quick.” No dupe she!) All historians die of the same events at least twice. 13. I feel that I ought to open this case with an apology. Dr. H. certainly has a beautiful voice. He is not a silly man. He is misunderstood even by Presidents. 14. You people are criticizing the Church but what are you going to put in her place? Sometime sit down with a pencil and paper and ask yourself what you’ve got that the Church hasn’t. 15. Nothing to add But the big voice of a detective Using the wrong first names In national archives. 16. She sat in shocking pink with an industrial zipper spe- cially designed for sitting on the knees of presidents in broad daylight. She spoke the president’s mind. “We have a last resort to be resorted and we better do it quick.” He wondered at what he had just said. 17. It was all like running wideopen in a loose gown Without slippers At least someplace.
