Mr Palomar

He looks at the sea

He looks at the sky

He looks at me

One wonders why

Does he read his little book

To find what he’s looking for


Where he sees the stars

I see a suntanned thigh

Where he greets the arc

I walk, long-legged, by

Does he need a calmer cook

To find what he’s looking for


Nothing is uncertain

In the life he leads

I draw the curtain

After planting seeds

Does he know how long it took

To find what he’s looking to impede
