I caught TS Eliot
slipping out the back door
stop you skinny bastard

look at these approximations
I have duplicated your morose
dictums I can reproduce at will
such mournful ravings

get away from me he said
you're sick
yes I know you've been telling us that
for years we're all sick

no you fool we were beautifully
tragically sick
you however have the sickness
of a small man I met

cleaning a theater in Abilene
who believed that his soul
was damned because his mother
was adulterous

you're all just alike I told him
and one day you'll get yours

he busted me in the nose
and roared off with Sylvia Plath
who was wearing tiger pants
and driving a convertible

Interesting concoction of fantasy and reality. I liked it.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
