A love sonnet+ from Tom Disch on a Saturday, from his book, About The Size Of It (2007).
A good time to reflect on this Tom Disch poem. #tomdisch
Let me appear
on Time, my dear, and make John Simon praise
What he has utterly misunderstood.
Exalt my foibles into fads, amaze
My friends, and let my sales be all they should.
from "To Fame" by #TomDisch #JohnSimonRIP
In his poem "Tract" #WilliamCarlosWilliams
recommends a style for funerals
much like the style he practiced
as a poet: a "rough plain hearse"
resembling a farm wagon, its driver
demoted to walk alongside holding the reins
and the mourners riding after...

Does the chipmunk whom we fed
Remember us in his warm bed?
As he sleeps, do we recur
In rodent dream, the way we were,
Begging him to take the alms
Extended in well-meaning palms.

Unwelcome guests come earliest.
They linger in the kitchen, hungry
For confidences.

From the maliciously wonderful #TomDisch:
Unwelcome guests come earliest.
They linger in the kitchen, hungry
For confidences. Their glasses
Unerringly light on the best wood.
The opening of "The Friends of Long Ago"
Tom Disch writes a disquisition, then torches it with poetry.
#TomDisch, an erratic genius.
“All the while the world is larger
Than all these transcripts of our idle chatter.
Some things matter more than others: mothers
More than Coca-Cola, pigeons more than fleas.”
This is why we love Tom Disch.
