MASTERCLASS
I sat in the masterclass
rewriting a haiku
for the ninety
ninth time
when this unkempt lunatic
barged into ths room
hair, spectacles, beard
much like
Allen Ginsberg
he had a can
of spray paint with him
at a
furious, frenetic pace
did aeorosol poetry
floor to ceiling
all over the walls
and all
I had to save aesthetic rigour
defend high culture
was a tiny
little replica of
an evil Muramasa katana
but I would not dare
to sully that blade.
