1191

AUSTRALIAN PHILOSOPHERS

Musings. The dual problem of
The portrait of the producer as a six-year-old dj
And compound interest. Maslow's pyramid
Sung to the tune of
The collected poems. Community theater
In New York City. What for,
This platen without a typewriter,
Publication without distribution?
The paratrooper lands
In the after-school program class
And starts firing away
The prepared syllabus. Duds, duds, and more
Opportunities to invent something that works.
Something. First off,
What is your image of work?
A life slightly at variance with the norm
I'd say's likely
To be rippling, the edge of a leaf,
No underwater feeling finer
Than this plonk
Hic. Garish poetry invariably
Narrates lived experience. The best
Just ask them. And keep
The receipts, keep
Wishing the days
Wells to draw from. What infidel
Dreams I erase show up on the paper,
Not on television. And why not?
Hate. Tell me about
You can say that again.
