Clyster Engine was writing a book called
THE LUM MOYEN POEMS: ESSAYS.
Compare e. e. cummings’ i: six nonlectures.
I was not invited to. I did it anyway.
Anything you have to do, you have to go on
and do yourself. Roland Kirk. I disintermediated.
My books aren’t banned. They were weighed in the balance
and found wanting. My books are outweighed.
Hankering, gross, mystical, nude.
I have a fat lady in the audience, doctor.
A box of chocolate-covered cherries.
Surrounded by spent candy wrappers.
Like brass shell-casings.
I am the fat lady.
