Description

In The Man Who Married His Checkout Lane, he writes: "Oh my checkout lane / has the longest wait of any--though unlike / all the others in line, I won't leaf through the life / those tabloids provide rumors of: none of them / are beautiful as what infills me as I enter / as I am queued up for that brief orgasm / as my cash is on the counter and I am free."
