The Poet

Sid Yiddish

I detest the poet
The sing-songee
Ooh-aaahhee
Breathing too much in time
Over and over again

The young poet pretends
He is Allen Ginsberg, writing cock and balls and fuck
In every other line

The slamming poet
The sodomy of Carl Sandburg
21st Century style
He’s a poet; he knows it, he’s already blown it up into a frenzied performance version of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, times three

The academic, all hail the academic
In A-B-A metered time
Crisp white shirt, wrinkle-free pants
Reciting on cue, timed response, politely clapping in rhyme

Oh the poet!
That holy sacred cow!
Plunders in his wonders, American dream tastes like fat-free cream floating atop his latte’

The holy poet, that beatnik scruff
Dressing in dead man’s clothes
Thinking June-Moon-Spoon is clearly outta tune
Wants to end his world with a vicious plot

The poet.
The holy-subsidaired, conglomerated, merging poet
Exploited and avoided, cringing and fringing
For once, could change his world
If only, he would think things through.
