Birthday Poem, Beginning with a Phrase of Yvor Winters' from a Letter Written to Kenneth Rexroth and Almost Ending with an Altered Lyric of Steven Morrissey's
"Where literature is concerned,
I will not cooperate at all":
A mind resolutely turned
From the social crusades of fall.
Seventy-eight years later
I agree with the "dilettante";
Twenty-five years cater
To reclusion in a shanty,
"Writing frightening verse
To a straight-toothed dude
In New York." Curse
My reckless solitude!
