Took me awhile to read through this one, and I’m not quite sure I’m cultured or smart enough; some of the references were lost on me, yet, even still, this was such a joy to read. You are very gifted sir. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Zane. It's an older poem, and the product of trying a bit too hard. Even I'm not smart enough for it anymore. But Coleridge came up in conversation with someone, and I went back and revisited it.

seriously impressive
Thank you Huck.
"I’d rather buy you off
in your fashion. Two rational
columns of itemized expenses
like a bill from a hospital visit."
Admiring the architecture of your poems, it's easy to forget how funny and bitchy and American you can be. Lines like this remind me.
I can be funny... sometimes.
