MY POETRY HAS CHEATED TOO
Your poetry’s tubes have been tied.
I can tell, your loose tracts
have been plugged with a metal ring.
Actually, my poetry has cheated too.
Before I went out
I swallowed a few pills of Viagra.
But however I tried,
Poetry Periodical, state-owned flagship,
you could never get pregnant. My poetry
must be lonely for life.
