THE RED WHEELBARROW VARIATIONS




The Red Wheelbarrow
by William Carlos Williams


so much depends
upon


a red wheel
barrow

 
glazed with rain
water

 
beside the white
chickens.

 
Variation I
by Careless Carol Walloons, Waitress


so much depends
on a plain

 
omelet no potatoes
on the plate

 
chicken salad san sans
butter and mayo

 
bread toasted and
chicken held between your knees.

 
Variation II
by Carla Willis Collins

 
nothing really depends
on anything

 
because without
anything

 
everything would be
nothing

 
beside itself about
the lack of chickens
