Ode #2 to A Dadaist Who Died Too Soon

Kenneth DiMaggio

Why would anyone who loved
surfing go to a university
surrounded by cornfields?

Instead of attending
your American Literary Renaissance
class
you would sway & wave your
body to the waves & sways
of the windblown stalks

Composing
is what you called it

And what do you call
the name of your symphony?
I sarcastically asked him

“I dunno,” he replied. “You’re
gonna have to ask the corn. It’s
not done yet composing me.

Didn’t you learn anything
from reading Thoreau Emerson
Dickinson?”
