![Sonnet
Jasper Johns, No, Encaustic, collage, and sculp-metal on canvas, 1961
No, I don’t want to come home
for dinner. No, I don’t want
to have sex tonight. No, I don’t
want to get a dog. Don’t
want to pick up the dog shit.
Don’t want to revise the poem,
or make the sonnet rhyme.
I want to abstract the love poem,
but the sonnet cannot be abstract.
Can it. Abstract desire. Abstract
the sonnet from form. Tear
the poem open. Let rhyme drip
down the canvas, a strip of
cloth exposed, [ ]
