From Harris Schiff's Reading at the Poetry Project Last Week

I wasn't in NYC last week for Harris Schiff's reading, but I read the poems and here's one I really l ike --






It was great to be young in the twentieth century
before Dracula threw down the prison mesh grid over the world

YOU ARE WHAT YOU BUY

Fight the war and warming conglomerate

today I don’t have to shave and dresss for scuzzy job
they subway ride
or abuse

I make poems and be
lover

funky in April chill baby baseball season

amused stead of so damn serious so worried

one more season of discomfort in the latitutde
