Virtuoso's Valentine

Some get Kerouac
lodged too far up in
them or Ginsberg
stuck in their throat
whose work if it had
arrived first would
have far surpassed
their teachers but
coming after repeats
and repeats in my ears
you were sick your
whole life you never
could win for dazzling
technique prodigious
prestidigitation note
for note only itself
with nothing to say.
