I have five gold teeth in my mouth
None of them my own
I could spit alchemy
On this page
And the ink wouldn't bleed
Here's my advice
Open the fuck up
A rip from loin to brow
This world is merely the inversion
Of your raw meat

My goodness. That's a poem I would like to read a few dozen times.

Are American teachers still teaching
how to scope the real meaning
of "palpable and mute as a globed fruit"?

A monkey-suited man delivered me
a singing telegram signed e.e.
I was nearby the night
Berryman jumped off that bridge

Don't talk to me about Russian meteors

Bring it on, Reagan Estate. I will neither cease nor desist.

I like this guy.
