You perverted Monsanto
Sodbusters just keep on
Swallowing this bull
Shit and ya’ll be corn
Holed
By the Grim Reaper.
Moderator’s comments: Well, now we know where Cinquor stands re GM foods; still
The question is: how does one hold an apple
Who likes apples
And how does one handle
Filth? The question is
How does one hold something
In the mind which he intends
To grasp and how does the salesman
Hold a bauble he intends
To sell? The question is
When will there not be a hundred
Poets who mistake that gesture
For a style.
—George Oppen, “The Gesture”
Now, we don't want a falling out between you and Cinquor, Vassilis. He might stop sending you his wonderful poems! This one—well, the voice rescues it, does it not? Y'all?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Cinquor is acquainted with Oppen's production but if he isn't, he should forget the corn he's currently marketing and start digging into Oppen's yield in earnest before it's too late.
