WHEN CAN I SEE HIM IN THE FLESH? IS HE READING WIDELY? IS HE CREATING PROLIFICALLY? IS HE WISE; WISER THAN HIS CONTEMPORARIES? No need for the answers Probably the wrong questions But they are trotted out anyway   In zeens zines or whatever you call them Does he write the confessional? the epic? Is he a man out of time? on self destructive terms? My friend says I should read his work But I'm afraid I might plagiarize him whole The establishment don't care for him Society doesn't understand him Because he's a one off, doncha know? My friend's friend is a poet's poet But my friend hasn't actually met him Which is just as well As the poet's poet Is actually me Or one of my pseudonym's at least I side of me I don't like to see Yet I flaunt it vicariously This free site is ad-supported.
