AND I DON’T MIND

AND  I  DON’T  MIND  THE  MISSIONARY  POSITION                      MUCH

This poncy woman poet said:

I  never  sit down

to write      a poem

It’s about projects       *also noting her fondness for archives

 

Her latest book is about:

A manuscript found

in a garbage bin

It is thin & spare but published by a very hip house

 

I think about this each time

I do sit down

to write    a poem

Now feeling like a

literary leper –

Because I pick up a pen           put it to a blank page

and wait
