Stalked and poetry.
Stalked
A friend calls from canada and asks: '
I am being stalked by the coolhunter
How cool is that
She is good
she frightens death
and chills out hell
She can stalk in high summer
without working up a sweat
she can stalk on the ice pack
invisibly
while casually clubbing seal cubs
She can stalk you at truck stops
or at Soho house
she is just too cool to be noticed.
Except by Phil Spector
And she dealt with him.

Poetry defined.
What are you doing?'
and I say I am drinking milk and reading Bukowski
and she laughs and it is that laugh,
and I say I am drinking milk and reading Bukowski
and she laughs and it is that laugh,
you know,
the laugh of someone you really like
and straight away you want to make her laugh again
not to make her happy so much
as to make her laugh again
so you can listen to it.
And when she hangs up I think of poetry
and what defines poetry
It is not as if writing a shopping list of metaphors is enough
to make a poem!
