Didn't We
Inch by inch, the paths breaking
into patches of blue and green
then black and brown, then
over the pass to the top of the
remotest interior, accustomed as
we are to torrential indifference
and beatific familiarity. "Look
up in the sky"—another ad for
vinyl tubing, pillow talk of
Whosits & Whatsits of Nob &
Kebob, Insley & Ufragious,
Ackabag & Boodalip. Bump right
along, pondering your song, while
roasting toast or grinding sand
or polishing the fabric softener
that stands between you and your
self. It was in 1943 and then again
one more time. Beat bird without a
feather to call its own, a miser who
lives on a pile of mylar, the studio
with the view of the studio, my
electric blinker maker, strapped
in for take off. NO FLOATING
ALLOWED. As quiet as

Thank You for Saying Thank You
This is a totally
accessible poem.
There is nothing
in this poem
that is in any
way difficult
to understand.
All the words
are simple &
to the point.
There are no new
concepts, no
theories, no
ideas to confuse
you. This poem
has no intellectual
pretensions. It is
purely emotional.
It fully expresses
the feelings of the
author: my feelings,
the person speaking
to you now.
It is all about
communication.
Heart to heart.
This poem appreciates
& values you as
a reader. It
celebrates the
triumph of the
human imagination
amidst pitfalls &
calamities. This poem
has 90 lines,
269 words, and
more syllables than
I have time to
count. Each line,
word, & syllable
have been chosen
to convey only the
intended meaning
& nothing more.
This poem abjures
obscurity & enigma.
There is nothing
hidden. A hundred
readers would each
read the poem
in an identical
manner & derive
the same message
from it. This
poem, like all
good poems, tells
a story in a direct
style that never
leaves the reader
guessing. While
at times expressing
bitterness, anger,
resentment, xenophobia,
& hints of racism, its
ultimate mood is
affirmative. It finds
joy even in
those spiteful moments
of life that
it shares with
you. This poem
represents the hope
for a poetry
that doesn't turn
its back on
the audience, that
doesn't think it's
better than the reader,
that is committed
to poetry as a
popular form, like kite
flying and fly
fishing. This poem
belongs to no
school, has no
dogma. It follows
no fashion. It
says just what
it says. It's
real.
