I Love this Poem

New Girlfriend

An ode to the Answer Yes

My New Girlfriend is so perfected she must be of the Atoll of Yes

A Y-shaped KidenyBean-shaped Island from which all Yeses holler forth

In Froth or foam of bubbled-Yeses that Burst with a Pink-Sound

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Nearly Sixty Yeses perform this Sex

It a Rain-Soaked Substantial-tribal Rain dance to which the flowerful answer is

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

A Belt of SevenYeses that I wear as SevenYeses

The Holy-Relic of SevenYeses Throbs with Power

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

Not the Vernacular Yeah

Nor the Vernacular Yay

only the articulate Perfected-Yes

firstly comes the Declarative Yes.

then the argumentative Yes…

Thirdly the exclamatory Fire of Yes!

Lastly the inquisitive yes?

yes finally the inquisitive Yes?

to the inquisitive Yes?

Yes the answer is Yes

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
