January 12 - I am dancing


I am dancing
 like a mad woman
about poetry.
My feet beat the ground
                        To recall the rhythm of Whitman
                        And of Billy Collins
                        And of Lazarus
digging his own grave

My feet beat the ground
                        As I liberate papers from piles
                        And sort them elsewhere
                                                            Under arbitrary adjectives
                                                            And for an arbitrary assignment

I am dancing
                        like a mad woman
                                                            about poetry
                                                            to recall rhythms
                                                            and to write my own verse
