Paterson: Book II, Chapter I, p. 57-58 (I)



Eisenstein’s Heavenly Man (I)

Fifty feet           
On a silver screen //      
Eisenstein’s:      

HEAVENLY MAN.

The meat is rotten!
(Strike!)
The quarters unkempt!
(Strike!)
The wages unfair!
(Strike!)
The blood unjustly spilled!

(And in a darkened
room, eyes reflect light
and Tell: 
everything is shadows
moving faster
than they should be.)
