I am an artist
casting
critical apprehensions

of impressions
with simulated
expertise.

Reckless
Inspiration Hunkers Down
in Dark Shade.

Kerouac is
hipper than
Kerouac.

I am a poet
casting
critical
disembowelments.
with simulated
expertise
incarnating this word
for that word.


Daring Genius
Hunkers Despondent
in Swarthy Gradation.

The cat’s
emery board
tongue

wiped
butt
clean.

Spitting her balls
and hocking-up
membranes.

Eating crunchy,
chewy,
crippled critters.

Crushed crooked
on a wall.
Slightly bent.
