DescriptionLetterpress printed poem by Ted Berrigan, titled "LANDSCAPE WITH FIGURES (SOUTHHAMPTON)"LANDSCAPE WITH FIGURES
(SOUTHHAMPTON)
There's a strange lady in my front yard
She's wearing blue slacks & a white car-coat
& "C'mon!" she's snarling at a little boy.
He isn't old enough to snarl, so he's whining
On the string as first she & then he disappear
Into (or is it behind) the Rivers' garage.
That's 11a.m.
In the country. "Everything is really golden,"
Alice, in bed, says. I look, & out the window, see
Three shades of green; & the sky, not so high,
So blue & white. "You're right, it really is!"
