          POEMS ON CRANE (after Stephen Crane)
               I. I SAW A MAN  
              [And] I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
              [And] Round and round they sped.
              [And] I was disturbed [at this];
              [And] I accosted the man.
              "It is futile," I said.'"You can never" --
              "You lie," [he cried, And ran on.]
