not only do I endlessly
scavenge for poetry subjects
to scoop up and write about
but from another appendage
of my brain I’m crafting
the same material into skits
for Saturday Night Live
like dueling trains of thought
one that develops lyrically serious
poetry culminating in sterling revelations
even I never saw coming
the other slapping together
scraps of life in ridiculous
Akroyd and Belushi ways
that have already impressed
Lorne Michaels to hold up a thumb
for the brilliance of their comedy
wellin a dream
