Today (1950)

Oh! kangaroos, sequins, chocolate sodas!
You really are beautiful! Pearls,
harmonicas, jujubes, aspirins! all
the stuff they’ve always talked about

still makes a poem a surprise!
These things are with us every day
even on beachheads and biers. They
do have meaning. They’re strong as rocks.

I'm reading this https://www.plough.com/articles/who-is-americas-homer and finding all sorts of authors I ought to have learned about in high school, but unaccountably did not :)
