Amidst the Ongoing Search for a Purer Lampoetry (in tribute to Walt Whitman)

For us post-

Post-modern poets

It’s no longer

Under the boot-soles

That we send our readers

Scurrying to look 

Oh no

We have a much

Better conceit than that

For what’s universal and

Utterly free

At least for

Anyone with

A high speed

Internet connection

Much better

If you just try searching

For Lampoetry

On Google or Yahoo

If you want to hear

My yawp transmitted

Via http packets

Over the rooftops

Of the world

And then some

Effusing myself

In the same jags

And eddies

I hereby bequeath my

Collected works

To the universe at large

In the belief that

U.S. copyright law serves

No purpose at all

Other than to

Keep us apart

So failing to find me

With one search term

Please try another

And another

Mistaking me first for

Marc Kelly Smith

Or Peggy Lam 

It matters not in the least

For if you look 

Long enough online

Amidst all the porno

Unending tweets  

And other clutter

Behold at last

There you'll find me

In the poetry section
Of the Internet
Just as well

Thanks very much
