Here’s the complete little poem I’ve taken this sigquote from. It was in Thesen’s first book & has always stuck with me, but then I love all her work. Sounds just like today, doesn’t it?
Getting on with it
The word
Shakespeare
reaches upstairs from CBC
I shiver, don’t feel
so good. Poetry
4:50 P M & this
curtained light.
Shakespeare
drag yr mouldy old bones
up these stairs & tell me
what you died of,
I think
I’ve got it
too.

Shakespeare
drag yr mouldy old bones
up these stairs & tell me
what you died of,
I think
I’ve got it
too.
