Reponho uma poesia do poemário The sentiment of a poet:

A poem without whitewash

Here is the poem:

don’t ask me to use whitewash;

I carefully avoid that word

to avoid something I have to avoid:

aesthetic and all related products.

Mr Brown ignores all about

the use of whitewash in poetry

and judge Larkin as misogynistic

and wants to submit to x ray the Movement

to find Englishness and expose it.

Don’t be astonished if Mr Brown

states he read William Carlos William

in a course on Gaelic Literature.

Mr Brown hasn’t ever known Jupiter,

even he thinks he lives at Olympus

and ministers comes from his thigh

I interrupt myself!

here is the poem:

don’t ask me to use whitewash

and Mr Brown; at least simultaneously
