BRING YOUR FAVORITE SPICER POEMS
(if it rains bring an umbrella NO RAIN DATES FOR POETRY)
exerpt from A POEM TO THE READER OF THE POEM
When I said this was a poem to the reader
I wanted to dig a pitfall
Only you could fall into.
You
Know who you are
Know how terribly far
From last night you are.
If I am old when you read this,
If I am dead when you read this,
Darling, darling, darling,
It was last night
When I wrestled with you.
I am wrestling with you.
