[New-Poetry] Little J.A. Among Some Trees

[R Dillon]

A collage is a cut-up of disparate objects assembled to recreate
a coherent figure each part of which provides a comment on the whole.  Consider Richard Hamilton's collage of 1950's L.A. American suburban domesticity.   Ashbery assembles in this excerpt the subjectively experienced movie of himself as boy finding himself there in his living room, present to himself, self aware, as much as he ever will be at any place along the time line.  My first poem, "Start," provides an account of my preincarnation moment entering this thing.  Ashbery is a very smart, affable guy, quick on the uptake in public.  An Aries with a Wife of Bath muscle between his two front teeth.  Makes up stuff as he goes along surrounded by friends.  Sometimes he stares his eyes like two milkweed at strangers as he rides up the escalator at the COOP.
