Not bad.  When it's wine, I vacillate between French Bordeaux and a chilled California Chardonnay.

But that's just me.  Whatever one's pleasure.  Fine by me.

Give them what they want.

By the way...why was this poem such a "groundbreaking" American poem (though I did like it)?

The Great Figure
William Carlos Williams

Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
fire truck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city
You can't hate me more than I hate myself.  I win.

"When the spirit of justice eloped on the wings
Of a quivering vibrato's bittersweet sting."
