now 40 years into this I am
bruised by poverty and
the blacklist but it's clear
that I will outlive you and not
because you don't buy my
books don't be fucking stupid
I've gone from the mimeograph
to the computer in less time
it took for you to figure out
visual poetry no assholes it's
because I truly don't care
anymore so be with that
you haven't beaten me and
there is nothing left to prove I
will write what I write with
impunity in total amusement
and after careful consideration
you can suck my veiny root
