PERSONALITY QUIZ

Without even stopping
whatever 

it is you were doing,
just stop

paying any
real attention and  

instead start picturing 
these—leaves on a tree;

broad things and waxy-
flat—to hold 

more cool light—and various
that is—

to say, variously 
perched on the branch 

of a delicious
tree lusty with burly fall wind.

Afterward, quick! answer—
quick! as you can,

were those
subjects?—or 

objects 
you thought-up just now?

Each of them? 
All? And how-

come? And what's
answering—

got anything (quick!
as you possibly

probably can, 
now!) whatever 

to do with that aching-
ly beautifully 

simple—
thing you were doing before?
