bleach soda napkins
it all started out as a
languaged poem
a micromanaged poem
or can’t you take a joke
as opposed to being one
there is still something girlish
about writing a poem
here in America
as opposed to having one
written about you I sing
(Achilles) a cold macho thing
refusing to make sense
deliberately most of the time
like if poetry were politics
Zukofsky would be our Ron Paul
Niedecker our Hillary Rodham
you can finish the list
