SUBWAY
I'd like to preface this with a little autobiography. From 1972-1974 I was a columnist with Circus magazine. It wasn't until I worked in Village Oldies with
Eileen Myles and Rose Lesniak that I really started working on my poetry. Under the creed "write about what you know, most of my poetry has a dark bent. My motto has become "I read poetry at people". Blame them!
Depression's heavy-adds weight
Head full
Heart swelling
Eyes moist
What I had Friday The 13th
I lost the 16th
A city excludes me
-Everybody hates me
-You know that's not true
-Why, thank you
-Not everybody knows you yet
What's wrong with me
Is what's wrong with everybody sometime or other
It's worse now
Because it's me
