Stoppages
     after Marcel Duchamp
Patrick Brandon
 
 
A line cast over water settles on the water skin.
 Salmon engage in piscine（鱼的） trigonometry（三角法）,
 track the crooked1（弯曲的） trajectory2 of light.
 Pouting courtiers, indifferent to our air-
 blighted world, they trend to a chilled cortege（行列）,
 eyeballing drifting sprigs of glamour3 -- dabbler4,
 super-sleek, grayling nymph; and
 for the single folkloric5（民俗的） pike -- a shimmer6 eel7.
 The fabulous8 lured9 by the fantabulous.
 Ignoring the trees, the sky, (each
 waiting for translation), there is strategy
 here, where chance and line contend.
 Where was it Klee said he was taking his line?
 My tutors -- dressed much as they were
 thirty or more years ago -- repeat it endlessly.
