You da’ man
You da’ fuckin’ man
Dr King, lose no confidence
Do not lose confidence
If you were not,
Then Kerouac wouldn’t be
At least to me.
And though this be oddly formatted prose
And no poetry attempted
(Perhaps first couplet exempted)
And all I despise in line feeds
And wine notwithstanding
My own understanding
Is not of poems but messages
Which I get every week
On my phone
Right. You’ll have done AWP by the time I post this, but here’s the thing. I would neither read nor know poetry if I couldn’t rely on this podcast every week.
Yeah, I’m living the adjective in the podcast title right now, but it is, as we say post scriptum, I wasn’t drunk when I started typing, but I hope to see /circe again, and if she will drive, you.
Would you believe how much editing this required?
