Latest addition: Cupertino, added 26 February 2010. The time is high, and I'm the guy: Here is a collection of the best of my poetry. Most of these were originally written for the Daily Whale, my daily joke, epigram, or satirical tidbit. All are short; most are funny; all are formalist (no free verse, other than the odd parody), though some of the forms are alien to tradition. Read 'em or look to the blue bar on the left for suggestions. Enjoy!
Three counts for mountebanks out of the eye,
Seven for the turf lords with their telephones, Nine for candidates, doomed to lie, One for the media with its high tone, On the television where you learn to buy. One count to fool them all, one count to blind them, One count to fix on so they'll never look behind them, On the television where you learn to buy. November 2000
