JAMES SCHULER'S SCHOOL
(1923-1991)
Not going by the rules
when you were obsessed
with the dead flowers
given by the boys
of Fire Island
the last June paintings
of David Hockney
Judy Garland tunes
perhaps your world
collapses in your praxis
of language
or were just nuts
ignoring the parrot
you got for Christmas
half in laughter
for someone in the village
was always after you
in language of "No reply"
from street smart chaps
you believed knew it all
believed it all
saw it all
dreamed it all
and now will outlast
us all.
