The numerically titled pair of poems —
21 (which has 23 words) and 17 (which has many more) — will appear in the next New Yorker, but you can read them online now. Proper spelling optional.

    most hilarious pretentious non sequitur ending to an already pretentious poem ive ever seen. also funny: he writes like he pronounces. “an”, “t” instead of to
    and wtf is 21, a high school student could have wrote those will all those
    unnecessary
    line
    gaps

    I read this poetry book his wrote in the late 60s. It was pretentious and too full of itself to actually say anything. The odd thing is, his song lyrics are among the most poetic I’ve ever encountered.

    The longer one is pretty decent, I think. Better than oh, 99% of the words that come through here, lyrics or otherwise.
