Untitled #711 (2014)

ladies and gentlemen,
I will be your tutor tonight.
do not mind the whiskey on my breath,
and let’s all take a quick smoke break to start us off right.

But first, let’s talk about poetry while I clean my pipe.
Do you have trouble getting into the meat of a poem?
    jesus this Stem just won’t come off!
the trick is to remember that it’s more about how you feel,
than it is what you know.
    you’ve just got to feel where the clogs ‘n dirt might be.
don’t forget to let it cool.
    a poem fresh in the mind is hard to parse.
