[The Cost of Almost Apprehending Anything]

The cost of almost apprehending anything
is ignoring almost everything else
and misapprehending the gibberish
that seeps in. John

Ashbery's birthday in a month, first
sentence a pedant's
prescription
for how not to read Ashbery

when plasma raindrops
the size of Ireland
thunder the sun. The world,
plagued by John Ashbery wannabes.
