Phone Call With Ma After A Nice Reading of Women Poets

No Ma-
not like
Danny Thomas,
that's not
what I said,


anyway 
the point is
I always 
thought
she hated me
and she's
like,
such a
great poet.

No, I never
met her
I am just always
afraid that-
in my poetry,
I come off
as a misogynist,

Yeah Ma,
sure I guess
you could say 
that - I guess
you could say
I dabble in 
misogyny but

I am not
even sure
I know what 
that means.

Okay Ma
whatever
uh huh
love you too, 
call you 
tomorrow.
