a little poem for you

From Poetry 180, a book I've owned for probably 2+ years now, but haven't managed to finish yet. Although I recently started keeping it in the bathroom along with the magazines, and I think this is a promising place for it!


Advice from the Experts
by Bill Knott

I lay down in the empty street and parked
My feet against the gutter's curb while from
The building above a bunch of gawkers perched
Along its ledges urged me don't, don't jump.
