Explore "Earthy Anecdote" by Wallace Stevens on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Every time the bucks went clattering / Over Oklahoma / A firecat bristled in the way.
Wherever they went, / They went clattering, / Until they swerved / In a swift, circular line / To the right, / Because of the firecat.
Or until they swerved / In a swift, circular line / To the left, / Because of the firecat.
The bucks clattered. / The firecat went leaping, / To the right, to the left, / And / Bristled in the way.
Later, the firecat closed his bright eyes / And slept.
