"Three Laments"
I.
Alas
I believe
I might have become
a great writer
but
the chairs
in the library
were too hard
II.
I have
the upper hand
but if I keep it
I'll lose the circulation
in one arm
III.
So here I am the coolest in New York
what dont swing I dont push.
In some Elysian field
by a big tree
I chew my pride
like cud.
