No Sop, No Possum, No Jive

American Poetry Review, The, Jan/Feb 2001 by Martin, Carl

We must pit ourselves brutally, Testing the tar and pitch Of the immaculate forefathers. Ditto, etc. X-temporizing, scrounging luxuriously As we climb the intricate cobs, the nipples And rosy vellums inscribed with an oriole. I see no further than this, though I've been lower, into hell's orifice; Popped back in like a rabbit!
