Bernadette Mayer reads a poem for her 70th birthday: WALKING LIKE A ROBIN

…

……WALKING LIKE A ROBIN

……take 3 or 4 steps then stop
……look smell taste touch & hear
……is there anything to eat?
……oh look, there’s some caviar
……it must be my birthday, thanks
……i must be very old, like seventy
……i guess i’m falling apart, i’ll just
……sew myself back together but will it last?
……please take a piece of me back home, each piece
……is anti-war and don’t pay your rent, in fact
……remember: property is robbery, give everybody
……everything, other birds walk this way too

here’s a poem for youse guys
we saw Jurassic Park in 3D

…………Love B & P
