Radio
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
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
I guess I'm a sucker. I feel for it, hook, line and sinker!

I totally fell for this. I mean, if Ruth Lilly could give all those bucks, a building on Central Park seems viable. Also, I've wanted to start a poetry house in NYC since I was, like, a 8-year-old poet wannabe in Brooklyn.
Damn, April Fool.
