“Happy 29, Anat Benzvi!” [by Anthony Madrid via Facebook] 

ANAT BENZVI  (10/14)

When O when O when O whenzvi
—midnight on the dot—
Barbie, Ken, and pensive Benzvi
Cleanse Anat Anat 

The lens, the lions in their dens,
The chickens, roosters, pencils, pens
The lensvi henzvi denzvi penzvi 
All enjoy the poet Benzvi

✺

Anat Anat Anat 
She cannot be
forgot

Anat Anat Anat
A Johnny-on-the-
spot

Anat Anat Anat 
A samizdat
Seurat

Anat Anat Anat 
We love the girl
a lot

Oh!

Anat Anat Anat 
And now she’s hot 
to trot

She tried to spot the plot
Anat Anat Anat

We bought her another shot
Anat Anat Anat

And this’s all I got
Anat Anat Anat

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
