ah, poets forever lap at the oracle
like a dog drinking from the toilet
as I drink from u, golden-brown
like beer; nutritious like a nutty
breakfast cereal I eat w/ a silver
spoon; oh, the wooden clogs on the
ceiling & the jackhammer in the
street, O the garbage truck! The poet
screaming on the corner, going from
corner to corner bickering w/ ******
Edison created light bulbs to see &
now we cannot unsee them, haggard,
***** & yellow from the wharf crawling
over the shore; Gila Monsters created
God & oh, man who created sunrise;
who awakened the sleeping giantess
who opened her snooch & released the
whole world & everything around me
