Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is humor.

Today’s poem is a humorous poem about the difficulty of comprehending my poetry.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

What a puzzle Nick's poems are!

I cannot grasp what he is after.

Marx is easier by far!

Why write, if one is out to bar

All comprehension? Does he hafta?

Marx is easier by far.

If only some new thought would jar

Bourgeois perception, as in Kafka!

But Nick's poems empty puzzles are.

I think I would put him on par

With Cage or Pollack: Which is dafter?

Marx is easier by far.

Under what sectarian star

Was he begat? What gnomic laughter

Twists those poems which puzzles are?

Ah me! I'll never know. A for-

Eign joke, a filial disaster!

God! Such puzzles Nick's poems are!

Marx is easier--by far!
