Housecoat Days (by Mitch Sisskind)

I dislike or wait not really dislike

It makes me sick to my stomach

How on Sunday mornings you get


Stinky vibe from her when you say


I love you and she looks up from


The goddamn newspaper and says


The jury is still out or that’s a horse


Of a different color or take a breather


As if them were lines from Ashbery

Poems not the jejune platitudes.
