Up Front: Casual, Shallow and Meaningless, in reply to Jackie Clark,
beyond the mall stalk... entering amityville
what does that first blooming of friendship look (like)
when buds branch into buddies
cordiality flows to new tolerances
blowhards puff into harmonicas
alleys widen to alliances
sidekicking along companionways
thus pals become palpable -

Interestingly Pound also corresponded with another poet who liked Joyce and Eliot – James Jesus Angleton who went on to head the CIA’s Counterintelligence dept.
