6. John Ashbery, "Wolf Ridge"

How do you tell an ordinary Ashbery poem from an extraordinary one? I'm not telling. He is the most influential poet of the last 30 years, but the fact that there are so many poems that seem more or less interchangeable is problematic for some. I say, the more the better. Meatloaf is indeed the third vegetable in this case. 9 out of 10.
