Well, my dears—
surely it’s time for KANSAS

In all its SUNFLOWER Majesty—
and WIZARD OF OZ Grandeur

and stuffed glutted Grain Towers

Its melodious Meadowlarks singing—
its wondrous Tall Grass prairies
_______________

Yes, let’s include even Lawrence—
hotbed of William S. Burroughs

With all his NAKED LUNCH porno—
and unforgivable love of CATS!!!!
_______________

I mean really if Independence KS—
can possibly tolerate that faggot

Miss William Inge there in his naïve—
hometown Community College
_____________

Well, then surely it’s time my dears—
for the astute FLY OVER STATE

To finally bestow its esteemed—
POET LAUREATESHIP on ME

First KANSAS Faggot Poet Laureate—

To poeticize and pontificate the—
