"4:50 and dark
already? Everyone
wants to be beautiful but
few are. 4:51
and darker."

--Ron Padgett

This is marvelous and fresh, I would submit. There's a lot going on here. There is a difference between playing at poetry--and making it work-- and playing at poetry in order to trivialize it. Jordan's "right of the poet to be a fuck-off" but not the "stereotypey version of this right."
