    Pancakes and fritters,
    Say the bells of St. Peter’s.

    Kettles and pans,
    Say the bells of St. Ann’s.

    And we may be led, then, upward through more
    Powerful forms of poetry, past columns
    With peeling posters on them, to the country of indifference.
    Meanwhile if the swell diapasons, blooms
    Unhappily and too soon, the little people are nonetheless real.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
