FIRST AND LAST by Beverley Bie Brahic

afterRQ’s WCW out-take, Coffee, a man, Culling, Allongiation, Sevintina

Disreputable ha! Coffee, a man
Would be lonesome enough expertisers now say
That the carbonical pricefulness
Was shop-lifted, crazes piled up
In his closet. Remember M*A*S*H
& TV dinners? Don’t let the men in.

An ice-cream parlor at 2:30 in the morning
I am sixteen going on seventeen
And out of tune. And “The Great Rock
And Roll Swindle” with its dead fawn,
Similarital systematics. Remainstay tunellated toward this one
and this one me is only
A disreputable farmhand. Ha!
