#This is some bad poetry from a journal that has a pink bandana cover. It starts with a
#newspapaer clipping dated June 2, 1989.
I Dave the Poet
refuse to be censored
for a check.
Will not be screwed
for an advance
Refuste to But into All
That crap.
I will not whine – or
go hungry
My own world will be created
An Invitation will be
required for Admittance
I no longer give a
Shit
Fate Blows and yet
I come
Street-smart education
has been destroyed
by television.
Bush has destroyed
Libraries
Elders no longer
Remember
I will learn what
is already known
I will gaze inward
constantly
I have Become
Dave the Poet.
