Walt

How should I refer to you?

Do you want to be referred to
or you prefer reefered
or possibly refereed?

Life is complicated,
composed of things,
pretend likeness.

Leaves of grass
do seem to remember
Walt Whitman,

but that's only cuz
Walt Whitman

invented television.

I'm sure someone's
pet nickname for Walt
was a version of "Spazz."

When a poet annoys me,
I say "I wouldn't fuck (him) (her) (it)

with Walt Whitman's dick."
