if the
poem
doesn’t
border
on sentimentality
or madness
if there is
no blood
squeezed
from the
alphabet
if there is
no bile upon
the keys
if there
is too
great a
distance
between the
body
&
the poem
then the
poem is
not
a poem
then it
contains
as much
soul
as
a crossword puzzle
an owner’s manual
a menu in a diner
a tv guide
a phonebook
