Ars poetica

The meteoric rise in the academic sanctioning of poets since the 1970s has made "ars poetica" one of the things never far from my mind.

Poems Are Not

Poems are not things that look like

Poems, rather look away
when a new poem tumbles

Down the chute, let loose by a posse of
poem wranglers, overheard in the corridor bitching anent

New gender assignments. Poems are it, dude; they be gods.
