Song of myShelf

For David Gilmour

I want you to know

I have a shirtless poster

of Chekhov

tacked above my bed.

 

I admit that Miller

and Mailer aren’t in alpha—

—betical order

on my bookshelf

but instead rot

like used kleenex

on my carpet.

 

Fine. I’ve read some parts

from their books.

The centre holds

until I can find

a website streaming

the final chapter.
