What is a poet but a drunken fool-
a pitiful being that staggers through
local taverns, pathetic and mad,
muttering gibberish to the masses,
...
I love you more than all the bull
That you'd been telling me,
I love you more than all those guys
That you had shagged for free,
...
Write what you will,
But your lines do not impress -
Your metaphors, hyperboles
And anaphoras do not contribute
...
(for Bob Dylan)
Come gather 'round hippies
Wherever you roam
...
Just when you think of writing
A halfway decent poem,
It hits you over the head
Like a ruthless giant hotdog
...
Pretty girls don't take hallucinogenic substances, they are,
Pretty girls are like ether clouds inflating and deflating male egos,
Sometimes they give you a real cocaine high,
Making you feel like a millionaire executive of General Motors,
...
Take this body, my love,
my body, my love,
feel my knees and my arms,
feel my fingers on your hair,
cold fingers, sad fingers,
kiss my mouth, my love,
...
Feeling spiritually hungry,
I stopped by at an
Internet writers' joint,
Where I was served with
...
Yes, you are, yes, you are, my love,
You're my lovely Kentucky girl.
