POETS
IN
THE
BACKFIELD
Stay
a
while?
The
subliminal
cuts
are
coming
through
These
days
of
deadly
boredom,
And
poets
in
the
backfield
Writing
Something
Interesting.
Hardy,would
not
like
today,
Life's
become
an
angry
play;
And
our
deoxyribonucleic
acid
Carries
no
imagination,
That's
not
already
put
there
By
a
rival
TV
station.
I
can
hear
you
saying,
Yes,but,we
have
the
right
to
choose:
A
color,and
a
ball
of
string-‐
Or
poets
in
the
backfield
Writing
Something
Inter
esting.
You
said:
"The
Golden
Bird
eats
Fish
In
South
America
And
most
of
the
peasants
let
him,
Because
of
Bolivar."
Yet,millions
starved
in
Gulag
camps,
