Poem XXVIII: o shit

The calendar does not lie

yesterday went completely by

without a white house

from me

what was I doing

instead of producing said devotion

?

Everything

in preparation for

the arrival of 

from Madison

Jack and Mel

(from whom you will have received some POSTCARDS)

whereafter all has been food and laughter

hugs and absinthe

i also had my moon-

shine

lemon-

drop

and this morning

such a deep and terrible headache

that i call
all my sins

of yesterday

paid in full.



author's note:

I shall probably miss 3/13/17 as well
since, Jack and Mel having just left,
I will be plunged in certain famous
and disreputable therapies
for sorrow
that brook no poesis.

but 3/14/17 will be monstrous
