No, Steve, but I remember the poem! It was in a Penguin Modern Poets
volume, the first series thereof: (Kenward) Elmslie, (Kenneth) Koch,
(James) Schuyler - I think PMP #24 - that made a tremendous impression
on
me as a callow youth. From thinking all poems had to go dee-da dee-da
dee-da dee-da dee-da/ line-break/with maybe the occasional da-dee
somewhere, my horizons were opened. Unfortunately somewhere in the
intervening years I seem to have contrived to misplace it.

PS I see William Herbert remembers this volume too..
