the ampersand
—    for Creeley

        I’d like
    to hear more
    about that
etc.
    thing you like
to do and how
    the whole weight
of suggestion
    rests on it —

        I had
an ampersand,
        here — what
happened — it was
        too much —

I’m a sucker
to the power
of suggestion —

    when you say
etc.,
        I do
etc.
