so what does that so-called poem mean

that it can hide
for years
without raising any eyebrows
like some kind of unintended gesture
waiting for
phony affirmation

the patches on the elbows
come from a long line
of academy
investments

yet the streets are full
of broken wordsmiths
outliving every bottle
empty
of ripple wine
