Other Poets (then, again)

CEE

When my 8th Grade Language Arts teacher
Was trying to teach some lesson in
(perception?) (imagery?)
(“The Six Men of Indostan”?),
When he asked us to try to describe
The screen he’d drawn for the
Overhead projector,
I volunteered,
“White, blank, ominous.”
And, he grinned, all Fuller Brush
And said to the rest of the class,
“But, That makes it sound like it’s
Something Bad!”
And, I sat there through every other
Failed attempt to satisfy
What he’d wanted,
Thinking,
“How would you know It’s Not?”
...so...if one doesn’t scream like
Coughlin in Cleveland
Or instruct like a jilted ex on a mission,
Isn’t all professional poetry, sad?
Doesn’t it Have to be?
I mean, if memory serves,
Everyone always wanted to play
“Happy Birthday”
On the juke, wherever they needed to
But, I never saw the 45
In anyone’s home
