First, Karan obsessing about Bob's poetry makes the world a better place. Second, this line: "We invented horrible things / such as foreclosures and Wagner" had me laughing out loud (as a person who sat through 2 too many Wagner operas with my mother (with my pockets stuffed with snacks).
After the news of the Is-nt-Real attack killing 13 boys in Lebanon in a Palestinian refugee camp, and the current US administration demoting nursing as no longer a professional degree, Bob helps me deal with the four loads of laundry in my basement. The first stanza alone raises my day to a whole new level.
I'm always down for more of Bob's poetry, so grateful for this!
I’ll always be grateful to you Karan, that you introduced me to your buddy Bob 🥰
Thank you, Teresa! That’s v sweet of you🌻
Sex as violence would be a cool twist

What does Bob have against Wagner?

It’s easy to spot the poems the universe wants me to read, they are:
1) The ones I read, reread, and read again…each reading a new experience.
2) The ones I poke at to unlock the craft
3) The ones that challenge me to become a better version of my inner poet
Thanks for sharing your obsessions! I think Bob Hicok would consider your efforts as nice as cheeseburgers and staring at the sun 🤗
