Borrowed Trouble: Micro Tribute to Ted Berrigan (1934-1983)
I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –
Brian Beatty
At any given moment
skies above
the American Midwest
are filled
with decoys
taking planes
places
I’ve never been
so when
I hear their
honking
I always look up and
wave.

ReplyDeleteIt's ironic that folks would be social distancing to protect their health when my micro-tribute to the most social of the second generation New York School poets found its way online. It's an irony I believe Berrigan would appreciate.
