ELITIST HUMOR FROM A SUPPOSEDLY POPULIST POET

MEANDERTHAL MAN
Well, now I can
impress all my friends
that are big Doors fans
I have gone
to Paris
and paid a visit
to Jim Morrison’s grave
photographed it
and even got photographed
standing next to it
I can really
blow their minds
by using the photo
on the about the author page
of my second chapbook
originally, I thought

with Radiquet or Oscar Wilde?
someone else
buried in
the same cemetery
but one that people
with literary backgrounds
would recognize
that way only
the truly learned
would be in on the joke
but since I didn’t
get the other photos
I’ll settle for this one
I know it’s a cliché
by this point
but for now
it’s the best I can do
