Ernest Hilbert - Gold Rush (On Disposing of an Old Sofa)

Ernest Hilbert - Gold Rush (On Disposing of an Old Sofa)

What natural or man-made wonders will we br Prospect in those crevasses and gullies, br Boulders blotted blue as soggy lilacs br With lichen and cloud shadow? It’s all free: br So dive a palm down into warm valleys br Of cushion, sift through crumbs, lint, and old snacks. br Ore shed by decades of simple couch life: br Dental floss, Scrabble vowels, such nostalgia! br Monopoly hat, racy red brassiere, br Condom wrapper, super ball, pocketknife; br Star Wars action figure (a lost Jawa) , br A fist of loose change, enough for a beer, br Proof that nothing in life gets very far: br The mother lode, an unopened Mars bar.
