JOE’S PEOPLE

JOE’S PEOPLE

Joe’s people put it out there:
the man
has the soul
of a poet

once wrote
a poem
or so the world
received it, rapturously,

myself I believe
the wit and wile
lies
  buried thete
somewhere

though hardly
a poem
   in my book

more a concerted attempt
at a daub; Rorschach blot
for the
dead in imagination
