HOW TO STACK A POEM

June 4, 2013 The Hawk West Desk Window 10:30pm

I Have Three Regrets:

Self Organizing Galaxy

ended up buried

& capped

in The Orangetown Dump

in Rockland County, New York

–

Five Copies

of My 364-page Manuscript Monument

to The Death of My Mother

ended up shredded

and put out by

the side of the road

here on The Hawk

–

The Third

was of My Body

and doesn’t fall within

This Category of Art

but the regret I feel

for this death

will never be acceptable

How Different Would My Life Have Been —

How Different From The Comparative Perfection

In Which It Is Lived NOW?
