I hope Rick Santorum gets “Sexy and I Know It” stuck in his head and never gets it out.
For the Anniversary of My Death
W.S. Merwin
Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveller
Like the beam of a lightless star
Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three...

Paradoxes and Oxymorons
This poem is concerned with language on a very plain level.
Look at it talking to you. You look out a window
Or pretend to fidget. You have it but you don’t have it.
You miss it, it misses you. You miss each other.
The poem is sad because it wants to be yours, and cannot.
