A Very Old Man with Enormous Wallace Stevens

There is no gold in the places
that there should be gold. It's confusing.
Imagine it like this: when you're looking
for gold in the places you think gold
should be, there is no gold.
Where to look for gold when
gold is not where you're looking?
A place. That's it. So then
that begins too. A place. You
think about it more. A place. A place.
You think more about a place.

There is not a gem you can hold
in your hands. You're hands are gone,
dude. There is a not a name
in your throat nor a frog. Nor a
place to ice fish. There is not a place
to ice fish! There is no place to ice fish!
Consider those bluebirds. Consider
that particular kettle. Get closer to
answering a type of meal. There
is no meal where you look for the
meal. No meal. Where you look
you find no meal. What you find
is no meal.
