"Prototype of a Weapon for the next War'

"'Art Trick'
The thing you take for granted
is the thing that deceives you.
It was a happy night.
I ate milk and cookies
and the city spun like a top.
The thing that deceives you
is what you don't notice:
I ate milk and cookies...
You're made most real to yourself
by what you notice:
sandwiches with everything in them;
chickens shrieking like children.
The city stood still.
It was a stack of silver almost as high
as the Eiffel Tower.
And you...
you were nimble and free.
You were a half-shape, like melted wax.
Your hair flew up, like you were under water.
Now, from a slit in the watchtower,
I will make myself
as clear as a glass eye:
the thing you don't notice
is the thing that I'm lying to you about.
Art is a protest against reality."

"My mistress lykes the glove I wear
She lykes its fine black leather
She lykes when I wear just one glove
And not the two together
I lean upon my forke to feede
and speak of God and Law
And as I do gesticulate
the glove looks like a paw
I wear the glove to wash and pray
To shite and eate and write
I wear it in the afternoon, the morning and the night.
Once it snagged upon a hook--
"It's coming off!" She cryed.
The lady fled: she lyked the glove
because of what it hides"
