clinking glasses of Ruf-
finno to the “effer-
vescent destitution
of Rimbaud”, their lips
are apple tarts. Poets
in the Hamptons worship-
ing Plath like an oven
mitt worships the blood moon.
Poets in the Hamptons
blurbing poets in the
Hamptons writing about
poets in the Hamptons
breaking their backs for
the cowboy life, the blood
diamond veneers, the con-
crete spectacle. Poets
in the Hamptons complain-
ing about poets in
the city complaining
about poets in the
Hamptons—O god I’m just
like them—Somebody get
me a drink.
