A Footnote for David Lehman
a footnote is a link and a quotation is a photo and a poem can be easily deleted evenings
Tell me, tell me, delete me instantly, isn’t a reference a reverence, isn’t a name a sign,
isn’t an allusion a profile Eat my profile, old song and read for information and spam
for perhaps beautiful misinformation, as hair and water rhyme and think and look, tell me! The hardest to paint are hair and water So
paint hair as water, paint water as hair.
Even in New York with Basho and you I miss New York with you and Basho without which no tree ocean
— David Shapiro (2009)
