Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth: New Poems

One of the worst traps
Is finding yourself
Despising someone
Really good.

There they are
Wearing a miniskirt
Talking dirty
But washing
The filthy
Feeding the hungry
Defending
The poor
Befriending the dead

& all you can
Say in your
Defense

Is
Their bleached hair
& studded
Nostril
Hardly goes
With so much
Leg.

This book had a few poems I liked (including the one above), but for all the complaining people do about hitting space every few words and calling it poetry, this book is the pure embodiment of it (and is less interesting to me than the majority of the other offenders).
