Since nobody wrote a comment
about Ron Padgett
i must correct this inequity!
Ron Padgett is a hilarious
and erudite (although i hate this word)
poet, who has brought me to the point
of wheezing, of holding up my hand
to gesture STOP! i need to pee

Ron Padgett has made me pee
from laughter
i love this poet, whose frenchness
belies the fact that he is from Tulsa
a very unfrench place. But if there is
an aire apparent to Appollinaire
a ladder to climb to greet old Max Jacob
a strange urge to run when meeting Andre Breton
it is a place held (oh so strongly) in my heart
