Russia Me Lap Am On (for Kenneth Koch)
Artichokes with dark splotches, dry stems, peeling soft near avocado papa-san. Pump cheese? Please — pump chew. Pump chew, you bastard! Pump cheddar! Fact: Belgium bats its Belgian eyes. Hungary honey-shaded my heart. Luxemburg — well, you know how I feel about you, Luxemburg. And Russia me lap am on.
