setting the record straight on April (Free verse) by poetandknowit

april is not the cruelest month. what does that dead fart know about seasons and to claim he was from this state of show me where ashcroft hoisted the government to new heights, lost to a dead man and then went on to use his apt knowledge of law to destroy all the wrongdoers who dare pick their nose in a pubic place unless it is a wal-mat, then, along with your slimy nose dropping, you can get the buy one get one free special during turkey season on the latest and greatest 30-06 with a big beast of a barrel and bullets to kill april, because if he had any sense and had spent more than two days in this fair state of perpetual show me, where only two amish were killed on the way to market in drive bys last year with the new movement of random acts of kindness, he - that dead fart, not ascroft, nor the dead guy he lost too - would know that november and december are unbearable in misery.

AESTHETIC THEORY

"Contrive a poem out of ears.
Tell it
so that its petals unchocolate
like a brain in a jar
Wax walnut, melting with thought.
Make it a poem almost
lewdly knowledgable
and make its knowledge
ooze, syrup from the punched trunk.
Make it snake up to the molecule whorey and put its mouth
atomic against the mouth of its core.
Pull on its stem
to expose its foetus. Make it
have children with sleek ginger jaws,
make the dogs moan when it passes,
let it out of its jar
make it lie with our corpse, our chaos.
Make it hungry, evil, enemy of Death.
Put it on paper. Read it.
Make surgery its sigh, and of such sting
the scorpions call it Jehovah & Who.
Make it now before you crapout.
Contrive it, sperm it, stroke it,
make it efficient, make it fit,
make it more poem than Poem can survive."

Stan Rice, Some Lamb 1975..
