[New-Poetry] TSE Seen by EP in Convex Mirror

[R Dillon]

CAT NAP
 
TSE was nicknamed by EP because he'd "doze"
on Valerie Eliot's Victorian velvet chaise longue 
 
wearing his pin striped J. Press banker's suit,
including vest with gold watch chain.
 
Outside of the man: utter aplomb.
Inside the man: hallucinatory dream.
 
TSE how to play both sides of the lit'ry coin;
That's why Ezra Pound called him "Possum."
