One of his poems begins, "I love you as a sheriff searches for a walnut"; another, "It is very satisfying to have a nose/ Right in the middle of my face!" Even in his late work, a little surrealism creeps in there. From a late prose poem called "My Olivetti Speaks": "The iris is a flower that is past meridian, a ghost come bearing you a villanelle."
