1829

GIVE ME YOUR SOCK

The internet is my dad
I am surprised to be in the window
Wearing a pair of glasses
(I thought it was a mirror)

Let me talk to you
About the shape of the light
Taking your cues
From the people who make cues

Suddenly the dog
Sat down at the typewriter
A movie of the week
My only parapet

Yogi Berra and Casey Stengel
Watch over the poets
We love their electrical hum
It makes ice cream

I tell the internet this news
And wait for it to overlook
A scene of ordinary drama
Matisse's scissors

Take on Berrigan's
In a round robin heart
The robin engineers
Gave up on donuts

What a long tedious process
This feeling good
And thank God for that
Testing the floorboards
