Anesthetization of the Maestro

“Having something to say is

Not important for the poet.”

Go tell it like T.S. Eliot

And hum it like e.e. cummings.

Having something to say is

Not important for the poet

Who knows from Satchel Paige

That sometimes so much

Deep ends up

On a wee barrow.

Golden sketch

Appalling scars, remember Donne!

Pastel songs

Our best lack vows.

Pearl eyes above cornet valves

Dancing on light struck

Through brass cone waves

By five digits off a black wand.
