2-- The phantagraph ANNA LIVIA PLURABELLE Way down upon the swanee river we swam, like fauns, leaping, jumping, side-swinging the water because it was wet, thrilling, nervecut to the whistle tune the level water dancing, darkly. The moon a Brooklyn blue. You are the methyl in my rum collins, the vinedipped finger in my mushroom soup, the flame tipped end of the hot water faucet, run! Run, Plurabelle! Run, O [lithesome?] steamboat of my dreams. Down to Memphis, down to St George, [trailing?], hootlong down down the Mississippi down to leave, to New Orleans, [the waterfront?] of broken dreams, And from the mountains starflung the width of prairies, afloat the ocean of sugar cane, heavensent. Anna! I'se a comin', Anna. I'se a comin', Livia. We'se a all a comin', Plurabelle. WITH A BANJO ON OUR KNEE! --bowen Convay with [dod?] cations to Jam's Joyce Joyce. A bangtail nag in a blue-streak jag Couldn't catch a gremlin stuffed in a bag. --RStJLC
