Art in the Modern World...


or something

-I’m Literature here!

Thus proclaims Clance.

-Well you better figure out what the fuck you’re doing?
All mixed up with bits and megs, and wondering where
to pander--if just TV.

-A confusing time, of course, but read my poems.

-Why?

-Cuz you can’t stop asking what is it,
instead of just making a visit.

-We ain’t got time!

Lunch With Charlie

Ow! said I.
Too bad, remarked
Charlie the Ant.

I browse my paper at
the same outdoor lunch

spot and Charlie or
his ilk get me often.

Hey! Throw down a few crumbs
and we'll go crazy over ‘em
and thereby spare you.

Next time I did and--I want
to say thousands--but maybe

hundreds formed black seas around
tiny pale islands. The Nabisco Islands.
Oh a few outliers came my way still,

like poets leaving men
and women at picnics

to commune with
the sappy pines.
