and it's a great one:

The Morning Roundup

I don't want to hear any news on the radio
about the weather on the weekend. Talk about that.

Once upon a time
a couple of people were alive
who were friends of mine.

The weathers, the weathers they lived in!
Christ, the sun on those Saturdays.

I love the way he balanced vagueness & precision, abstraction & specificity. His poems are a joy to read, I think.
