Wicker Whatnots
The Fiery Furnaces

Emma was walking with Mandeep and JingJing on the second day of Spring.nEmma was walking with Mandeep and JingJing on the second day of Spring.nShe said she was sick of her porch pillars and golden axletrees and silver snuffers and all that sort of thing,nn 'cause out of the corner of her eye she saw one cherub ten cubits high.nnYou can immolate all those oxen, you can sacrifice so many sheep.nYou can immolate all those oxen, you can sacrifice so many sheep.nYou can be surrounded by your four hundred pomegranates and your bright brass shovels, but you still can'tnhardly sleep,nn when out of the corner of your eye you see one cherub ten cubits high.nnHow do you arrange a room around a baby grand piano?nIn the Arabian-tented library guest room;nIn the two-tabled dining room art gallery.nAnd here's one for your party room:nnAn emergency cigarette behind glass.nAn emergency cigarette behind glass.nOn a sliding stack racknHangs the Calcutta necklace.nAnd the unique stone rubbingsnI can decorate with giant jacks:nWith wicker whatnots.nWith wicker whatnots,nIn prettier prints with masses of chintznAnd candy box fabrics.nOr the True Meaning of a NamenWith poem in a frame.nWhere blue means fair;nPink, rain;nPurple, variable conditions.nGive me mirror magic in the maxi moodnAnd I'll throw away my Hollywood chin band.nnUlyana, Phoebe, and Alan knew to say,nWe're here for Lucy's Birthday in the Rivoli Bar area lounge, but were worried they might be late.nThen Lucy messaged, My PA Ms. Gill will kindly deal with your queries between 6:30 and 8,nn unless out of the corner of your eye you see one cherub ten cubits high.nnYou might say your 3000 proverbs and you might sing your 1000 and 5 songs.nYou might say your 3000 proverbs and you might sing your 1000 and 5 songs.nYou might have your house in the forest with 2000 baths and your temple in the town with Titanium tongs,nn but you didn't design them so out of the courner of your eye you see a cherub ten cubits high?nnShe was accepting cards and small gifts (before the photos) between 9 and 11.nShe was accepting cards and small gifts (before the photos) between 9 and 11,nwhen Gharzi, Ovi, Roger, and Rachel presented her with something that just sent her to heaven:nn one cherub ten cubits high that she could see out of the corner of her eye.
