Harryette Mullen(E.E.U.U.,1953)

Quita esa símil de tu afasia
tan caballos como para
tan púrpura como vas
tan latido como si
tan platería como sería
tan cebolla como puedo
tan cerezas como se teme
tan collar de perro como se espera
tan oboes como cualquiera
tan paraguas a como de lugar
tan caligrafía como puede ser
tan narcosis como podría ser
tan exitoso como todo eso
tan congelador como sé
tan facsimilar como se puede imaginar
tan ciclones como se desea
tan diccionario como quiera
tan sombra como se prometió
tan bebedero como también
tan incendio como yo
tan espejo como es
tan nunca como esto

Wipe that Simile off Your Aphasia
as horses as for
as purple as you go
as heartbeat as if
as silverware as it were
as onion as I can
as cherries as feared
as combustion as want
as dog collar as expected
as oboes as anyone
as umbrella as catch can
as penmanship as it gets
as narcosis as could be
as hit parade as all that
as icebox as far as I know
as fax machine as one can imagine
as cyclones as hoped
as dictionary as you like
as shadow as promised
as drinking fountain as well
as grassfire as myself
as mirror as is
as never as this
