Advice To An Elitist Editor - Doug Draime

Drink 2

full glasses

of mescal

(real fast)

and grind

up a worm

into a couple

shakes

of salt

eat it and swallow

it down

with slice of lime

and a 3rd full  glass

of mescal

then  go

read some

of Hemingway’s 

poems,

as you

stick all those 

“un-poetic

inconsistencies”

up your ignorant

academic

ass.

Doug Draime's most recent book is More Than The Alley, a full-length collection

from Interior Noise Press. Also available are two chaps: Los Angeles Terminal:
