| What's Wrong with wanting to be Rod Mckuen? |
| by Ivan Jenson |
| What's wrong with having a sun drenched
bearded face of a man who writes free verse in a beach house? What’s wrong with making millions musing on loneliness? What’s wrong with a husky, whispery reading voice, that could hypnotize a seagull What's wrong with being a songsmith, a wordsmith, and a melancholy-smith Go ahead and hang out with the ambiguous crowd filled with fractured abstraction I am going to stick with the barefoot poet walking on the sand who is willing to write about yet another sunset or another one night stand |
