letter to hayes

dude:

kicking back like a mofo      thinking about prosody
not like in how to shape the sound   of the line     but how
to make      the art       into the life

fucking impossible     i guess      better yet      destroy the life
and art will follow      shit    what is art
but an anagram for     tar     and      rat

even tho     to make the walk into work     more like
the beat of the poem          i'm heading to the fridge
for a beer      tonight     i'll drink on it

love,

richard
