The Satires

satire XVI: Dear Anatole Broyard

She’s a born bouffant hairdo & French nails sed cruel—

Hey tooty fruity, hey! Oh oh toot y fruit y—o boot-y-full!

Lui said he’d love americans, tyle her dancing drunk naked

in Santorini’s topless barre, bel suicide

riding bulls in Pamplona on the slant line

l’anonyme Poet in Pigalle bars drank til she puked in London Town’s bylines

As Ginsberg & God chanted Blake in the streets;
She’s now more half in love with easeful death than Keats—
More in love with that hooker at the seedy left-bank hotel—

 

Well put on some Kylie Minogue and

Sock it to me, sock it to me now…


 
 
satire XV

Kerry cut all adjectives
so, style was sparse
so says the times

he lost the election because
there was no narrative
no coherency
no “grabber of insight”


Oh—so Kerry’s a poet…?
 
 
satire XIV

The voice endowed with the power to free meaning
Would not look at me—
So I glance over my shoulder in a second
Turning my head to the sounds—
And the speed turns my head or my head conceives speed—
Then I am the copula with and without negation—
I am the piston in motion… 

 

he Laughed;
Art is Somewhere Else, he said—

 

satire XIII (to Ezra Pound)
 
Clutching my black purse I waited in the station, and as the
roar of the rail train came rushing in
I caught a slow sight of red rose petals on a black lapel—
I saw how it so exactly matches the one I gave to another man two weeks ago—

I’m on the symbolic highway, again…

satire VIII

When you ask me what people here are like,
I must answer
Like people everywhere!

However confined, he still holds forever in the heart, that sweet feeling of freedom,
who knows he can leave his prison anytime:


Well, just remember the rules, and
you shall never produce anything in bad taste...
 
 
satire VII (to Lorine Niedecker)

Gonimou men poietou—ostis rema gennaion lakoi.
       (A creative poet—who gives vent to a single noble thought.)



thought after autumnal thought
                           break off,
                                      descend—
                                               descend—



You will approve of this poem, which is entirely historical.
 
satire V
 
 
Are these lines a poem?


I am of California, seclusion is how I'm bound—
Many glorious mornings I have seen flatter the mountain tops with autarchic eye—
My Love looks fresh, and DEATH unto me subscribes...
