Go & see? That's about all any of us can do.BTW, what precisely IS a "disposable poem"?
A disposable poem is a poetic improvisation hurled into the void, wadded up and flung toward the nearest trash, meaningless as lie itself on an internet connection.

ReplyDeleteGrizzled buck-toothed
Jack-o-lantern
Or cat-whiskers turned
Sideways in an e-mail
Or cynical curlicues
On a yellow button
Or even more frightening
A clown’s face
Permanently etched by
Some villain’s knife
So that whatever you may feel
You’ll always seem happy
Who other than an owl
Hollows wounds
Around an empty oval
Called identity
