After Kenneth Koch

What a jumble,
I don’t know if it’s a good idea to have all of you here
Especially you wine and politics!
Though you my heart and turtles go together always
And even politics and turtles sounds good.

But in any case here you all are:
I wake up and my heart is holding you all like a shopping cart
Full of hasty impulse purchases

With California sticking out the back cartoonishly
Amidst the wine it’s known for
And politics snuggling next to but never quite touching nihilism,
