ironicisms

Poetry
Is easy, like cake, or whores,
Except not like cake, more like
The frosting or the roses
Pretending to be frosting, that sweeten
and sour --
Or something like that.
I don't actually know much
About whores.

Experience
Is tripe. As if Emily Dickinson
Had to go anywhere
And Hemingway died in his bed.

  1. Nice work on both of these. I actually like the top one a lot.

    So, steady diet of Lynch with a bit of Cairns?
