Poetry, Even If It's Not Tuesday

Here's a couple of short ones from Exene Cervenka, from "A Beer On Every Page". The originals were handprinted so I can't reproduce them accurately, but will try to mix upper & lower case to give you the idea. Get yourself a copy & see the rest! Her other poetry books are "Virtual Unreality" and "Adulterers Anonymous" (with Lydia Lunch).
