What I’d Rather Do Than Write Poems For Poets

I’d rather
write jokes
for a stand up
comic

eating a corn beef
on rye

reaching for
the brown
mustard

drunk out of
his gourd

at Cantor’s
Deli at 1:30
in the morning

I’d rather watch
Dr. Strangenuts
humping the

stuffing out
of Lois Lane

while Superman
jacks off

in a
phone

booth

I’d rather see
little Cindy
from Louisville
(now Victoria Starburst)

topless up on a
revolving stage

doing the

goddamn

hokey –

pokey
