Taste Test
Why are poets so good looking,
with their hair and their deep set eyes,
and their brains beneath that hair,
putting the world in rhyme or meter,
or just words that I want to taste,
like Jim Daniels or Thorpe Moeckel,
I stare at their photos trying to catch
a glimpse of where that, that poem,
came from, and then I imagine placing
my hands in back of their heads,
one at a time, of course, and pulling
them towards me, telling them to
recite their poems while kissing me.
Laugh if you want you silly reader,
imagining what crazy muffled sounds
come forth, but I will wink at you,
I am the lucky one, my wish comes true
as I am, indeed, tasting their words.
