1723

A hatred of the language
I associated with anti-semitism;

It's ok if the art is just words,
Only words -- words have the best parties

And the biggest bedrooms.
The emotional travel guide speaks knowingly

Of visits to the piles of coats,
But to me it's Laos or Hat Head,

I struggle all night with
My preconceptions, wake up

My pillow soaked and my heart weak.
Murasaki Shikibu focused on the sleeves

The way Homer sent spears through nipples --
The jackass spends twenty pages

Carrying out a conceptual joke
Worth half a laugh and twenty seconds' thought,

Let's chip in and sign him up
For the Sierra Club.
