“Poetry vs. Prose
One difference of course
is the length of the line.
And some people suppose
that prose doesn’t rhyme.
But I have a theory
that’s more like a question:
If prose is lengthy fiction
is poetry short suggestion?”

“A Short Ode To Sausage
"Sad to say, there are people who regard lovers of sausages
as relics from a kind of nutritional Dark Ages"…---Charles Simic, poet.
Theologically, I’d say I was predestined
to eat animals carefully stuffed
inside their own intestines.
I’m the first to eat knockwurst,
and the last in a cholesterol tsunami
to relinquish my salami to the authorities.
Whether beef, lamb or pork--
it will end up on my fork.
(I’m clear about my priorities.)
And for those who go into hysterics
proclaiming sausages barbaric,
I want you to understand:
That though you might be leaner
you can only have my wiener
if you pry it from my cold dead hands.”

“Well, being a poet is a funny kind of jazz. It doesn’t get you anything. It doesn’t get you any money, or not much, and it doesn’t get you any prestige, or not much. It’s just something you do.
