Art is anything you can get away with. Andy Warhol
Art is anything you can get away with. Marshall McLuhan
and so, poetry. this thing
that demands you be brave.
that doesn’t mean confess
your sins. though sometimes
that. unburden. who does the
heavy lifting?
Leonard said the Spirit
does. maybe. pfft.
all I know I haven’t the
strength to convince you
of anything more. any more.
this poem is a weak container.
just you sit there and wait.
there’s more coming.
is this the burden of
language. the hope
something sticks. i’m doing
my best. i really didn’t
have fun doing it. i haven’t
always done it
since i was a child. not
really. not really.
because this is poetry, and
the intent is an invasion.
inter/ruption. infection. in.
let me in. inne. with/in.
so there you have it. good
luck.
