It's about poetry that works the head and makes all the right sounds. I post what I like to read and hear read. If you see it here, I've probably spent some time speaking it out loud to myself, so I suggest you do the same.
I love this body, this
solo & ragtime jubilee
behind the left nipple,
because I know I was born
to wear out at least
one hundred angels.
