Assail self-portrait in U.S. letters 
today—an invention of his seductive voice
this zippo and his seductive voice 
is influence is influential 
is inflated enough to take a smart guy
immensely charming most celebrated 
and unclothed enough to take it
he’s a smart guy with a genius ear for music

In America’s besotted unclothed empire 
anybody else’s brilliant poison 
with a genius ear for clothes 
John Ashbery’s reputation is this
polis is zippo and its reproductive voice is an essay 
on U.S. letters today—an invention of his pure, convex seduction:

you can’t comprehend? Neither cant of his seductive voice 
comprehend? Neither the most poisonous emperor
can’t comprehend? influence is influence is inflated cloth
Neither can’t comprehend? A brilliant, modest guy
Neither a convex mirror, then enough to take it. He’s a 
can’t comprehend? Neither can’t comprehend? Neither 
can’t comprehend? Neither, in my besotted youth, I wrote a turd.

Hey, kids! Ocean Island here. Despite food in custody, I’m all Ultra Orthodox Jewish singers this morning. In California, the suspect lays with the elusive U.S. Newsletter, which is not what it seems.

Let’s hit play:

1. Here’s the honest Canadian election! Congrats, dude!

2. Despite all frogs dogging it this summer, which houseguest Canadian Ocean begs on the island weekend?

3. Here, a tad less “You Go On Vacation About The Twenties Based On 5 Minutes”, and much more “We Actually Won They Looked Like Lions!”

4. The survey group at 5:49 p.m. near Redondo Beach featured David Mack, a pro fog sufferer. In the hanging custody, we find another Ultra Orthodox Jewish singer trafficking in killed news.

5. First, create a flat iron. Then some hair. Or the other way around. Using that need, stay on Facebook all night.

6. Beauty told BuzzFeed to come up and step onto either and leave the end in. How about trying to dye it with chopsticks?

7. For extra supports of hair, don’t care. Truths all.

8. Overly, how long would a hangover at work produce extra support? The ponytails win 5 minutes, at most. Curl your how to curl your how.

9. Let’s talk about your weird obsession with pizza: America’s girlfriends straddled the 11-year old.

10. A cone of text, image, videos tagged punk.

11. I used the time for your favorite food and we tasted html tags.

Merciful police. She wound still-love and often obsessed with your aunties. “O, I Know Far Too Well” how to get Our App. Our staff needs wine for your Zodiac. Please share this with your family and friends on Facebook.

“As banked clouds / are swept apart / by the wind at dawn, / the cry of the first wild geese / winging over the mountain” — Saigyo (Source photo: Todd Heisler/New York Times)
among us knew many boys
a half dozen? she was 
a retired pant and the fridge 
is full

The tech tee fridge 
is full of bedrooms
The window is open
To Hackensack 

will you jump on my trampoline?
The lights have sparrows and 
among us knew many boys
a half dozen? said she was 

A crow alike at the phone; it's full
the dog refuses, we're out of 
phones; it's full of lights here's a snake origami, 
your will jumps on our fathers

Pressed pants and held 
us our mothers pressed porn
we knew many like her, loved 
them even, but who among us knew 

many boys
a half dozen? 
she was retired, hare
and crow calls alike

At the phone; it's full
the dog refuses, 
we're out of phone 
and full of lights 

here's a snake      
Your will jumps         
on our fathers
Pressed pants 
       
and Held us Our

We knew many like her, loved 
even But whom among us knew 

boys

she was a retired porn star.
We knew many boys and a hare

from Ben Lerner’s “Leaving the Atocha Station”

“Reading poetry, if reading is even the word, was something else entirely. Poetry actively repelled my attention, it was opaque and thingly and refused to absorb me; its articles and conjunctions and prepositions failed to dissolve into a feeling and a speed; you could fall into the spaces between words as you tried to link them up; and yet by refusing to absorb me the poem held out the possibility of a higher form of absorption of which I was unworthy, a profound experience unavailable from within the damaged life, and so the poem became a figure for its outside. It was much easier for me to read a poem in Spanish than Spanish prose because all the unknowing and hesitation and failure involved in the attempt to experience the poem was familiar, it was what invested any poem with a negative power, its failure to move me moved me.”

I may have not read

a poet of serious political debate

an unusually lucrative poet
“C’est la guerre”

his second prize

the officers search

they sent wounds over the radio 
into men off and back

the poet in heavy gear

the home of both teenage girls

make contact with one

O, Captain! You’ve left
