BENT
Eric Baizer
above the hyper beat of whitey’s polka ricky tick
a splurge of notes slide in & out of sunset
this is bent
bent gets private inspirations in public houses
bent is moved by bea lillie’s bungled elegance
bent dumps salt on all available wounds
bent pelts the government poet with pies
sees ants crawl over his creamy lies
bent roots for the lost cats
bent is poet
bent is forever
bent pulls off all the wigs of the world
