I guess this explains "Poets" absense.
He's still pissed about the racist board that picked a "white guy" over him.

Los Angeles hums
a little tune --
trucks down
the coast road
for Monday Market
packed with small faces
blinking in the dark.
My mother dreams
by the open window.
On the drainboard
the gray roast humps
untouched, the oven
bangs its iron jaws,
but it's over.
Before her on the table
set for so many
her glass of fire
goes out.
The childish photographs,
the letters and cards
scatter at last.
The dead burn alone
toward dawn.

Absence? Where have I gone? And why would I be pissed about a "Jewish guy" (not white, btw) being chosen for US Poet laureate???????????
I am being considered for poet laureate of Houston, Tx. , not nationally, but locally. And if someone is chosen instead of me, I'll congratulate him or her, and buy their book .
You're an idiot, as well as a bigot and racist. Troll.

How about if they pick a white red neck who is a member of the Tea Party?

He woldn't be picked on if he wasn't such a racist. He made clear exactly who and what he was in his greeting. Not only did he make sure everyone knew he was black, but that he was black and gay. A double victim. Therefore, anyone who didn't agree with him was automatically a racist and a homophobe.
Freedom openly admits he posts to make another angry, he thought it was a slam instead it was just another case of his not getting the facts straight!

Oh yea....I can see that...
Hey Ya'll I be the Tea Party Poet Laurette! YEEEEHAAW!! Here be my poem folks!
There once was a girl from Wasilla.
Who was crying that taxes would kill ya.
Though she was a novice.
She tried running for office.
but lost to a nigger.

MIRACLE
I'd like to forget the dalliances
"Rust-colored", stained with
Disapproval, for my iniquity
Before I came to the conclusion
That it was much ado about nothing
No "heart-bleeding" rabble rouser, me...
But no pollyanna, stealing glances and kisses
From behind signs reading:
"Don't" or "decadent", either,
Removed, some kind of way
From choice,
But not absolved of guilt
Running naked, through gardens of fire
And poison ivy, immune to the jelly's stings...
A welcome penance for wrongdoing,
Or by another name, "discovery"
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
Has branded me with stigmata
Which aches for cool cool holy water
Instead I drink the hyssop of life,
As do we all
I surprise myself by (at least, being able to)
Place one foot in front of the other.
Miracle.

SEX IS A DRUG
Sex is a drug.
A good drug, often abused
Addictive, a panacea...
A cop out, a way out
A way in...to be known
In a biblical sense, superficially,
One, undoubtedly leading to
One doubting one’s self,
As to one’s worth, imparting
A hangover, the next morning
Exposing one’s hangups, so clearly...
That you would use another to sidetrack
And deny the fact that, you’re too sorry
To be alone with yourself...
So you confuse sex with love,
With intimacy, which is and should always be
The prerequisite for sex (not the other way around)
Sex is the longing for your nakedness to be known
It’s why Adam bit the apple willingly, yet reluctantly,
Because he secretly knew, he’d want more.

what's wrong with being a security guard, elitist?

Fucking horrible. Boring. You've embarrassed yourself.

Nothing is wrong with being a security guard... as there is nothing wrong with being a janitor. What they have in common is that they don't require intelligence to do the job.
Freedom has nothing on me. I'm strictly "white collar", not "blue". And you're damn straight I'm an elitist. Classist , as well.

LOL. Seeing that you're not a literary critic or giant....I'm unmoved by your assessment. I've received praise from literati, and am actively being considered for poet laureate of Houston...and I didn't get there by being "horrible". LOL. It's more difficult when your understanding is lacking.

For that matter it doesn't require intelligence to be a poet either. In fact you don't even need a background check, bonding, or any qualifications at all. Yet you are a self-admitted snob:
