Poetry, Status Quo, & Baseball

by Doug Draime

(June 2nd,, 2004)

               doing this for nothing,
                like the rest of you
                but i get
                waylaid for not
                    writing like
                the status quo ...
                fuck the status quo

                i can’t buy a can
                    of beans
                with this poem

                as i listen to the
                    world series
                on the radio
                    because it’s
                no longer on non cable
                tv

                you got to be able
                to afford to watch
                america’s favorite
                pastime
