Bill Knott

On Poetry: " I haven't found anybody modern who is CONSISTENTLY not gay. But Bill Knott has a ton of good stuff but thats just because of how much he has written. Its still 70 percent gay nihilist bad-serious vulgarity." - CB

UP TO THE MINUTE

A jet falls on a cow.

Part of the animal sticks out and twitches like the usual closeups of the hero's jaw.

Children I admire play in the crushed cow's shadow.

And even the plane itself has been left atop the skel-

etonized milk-giver,

clouding one's dreams of a bloodless coup.
