Poetry Chair

A Poetry Chair in a House of poems
rows and rows of people
Not even standing room for our Professor
Poems he brings to the table
like a sacrament, like a Jewish cantor
And then, light verse unpacked like a napkin.
No one wants to show him the door
Stay with us, a little longer, sir!
Sign my Allen Ginsberg office chair,
A Poetry Chair for a poet who has been
outstanding!
