Entry 65 — The First Poem Poem

From #731 the introductory poem to my series of Poem poems:

.             His Origin

.             He was just fragmentary echoings
.             of Stevens, Roethke, Hughes
.             some misslept vagrant thought one day set racketing
.             through Crazy Jane’s untrellised ardors,
.             shedding feathers and farting
.             as he faltered into words princed
.             eventually, with occasional fingers,
.             genitals, and voice struggling always
.             to light up
.             with silence.
