The Poetry of
Michael G. Khmelnitsky

i hope
i never will become
famous

so that no one
would
write concordances

for
my
work

so that
some poor schmuck
in a library

would never have to
read that
the shotgun

represents the
cock
in my poems

and the cock
represents my
misogyny

i thus
suggest to
all

would
be
critics

and theorists
to take it
out of their pants

and stroke it
