Poet In Spite Of Himself

Not a testimonial...no...don't

wanna go there. But, ask 

Chayanne if he wants to stop

dancing....Stevens discovered

"a new knowledge of reality"

in his old age...Can Groucho

not be funny? It's karma, as far

as I can tell...or, being frightened

by a poet at a tender age...or,

possessed ( I wish) by a muse. 

No, it's just something my mind 

does...and, I like it, so, I keep

doing it, not reaching for the 

brass ring like Merwin, but,

wouldn't mind going out like

Dylan Thomas.
