poem with capital letters
Show that teacher this
(Jane Cooper's a poem with capital letters)
>>>>>>>>>>>.
john berryman asked me to write a poem about roosters.
elizabeth bishop, he said, once wrote a poem about roosters.
do your poems use capital letters? he asked. like god?
i said. god no, he said, like princeton! i said,
god preserve me if i ever write a poem about princeton,
and i thought,
o john berryman, what has brought me into this company of poets
where the masculine thing to do is use capital letters
and even princeton struts like one of god's betters?

(I don't know what to say to that teacher, I just like this poem!)
