infinity

the best poem in the world is written every day

when i watch tapes of early 90's eastern conference playoff games

like the knicks vs the knicks vs the knicks vs everybody else

john starks is a villian

today is the best day of his life because he isn't losing any game sevens

today is the best day of his life because he is still livin'

today john starks wrote the best poem in the world

it's called why i love every square inch of new york city

or why i love every woman that touches me

or why i love gardening

or something that has nothing to do with love

or green things like green backs, more and more of them

raising the debt roof literally

by stacking up your big men and their big green backs

until you can actually slam dunk on the moon like magic johnson

or the teeth of magic johnson

his smile holds onto the sun's energy

and cures everyone of any disease

which is the best poem in the world

until paul clark wrote the best poem in the world

until kyle crawford wrote the best poem in the world

until i wrote another love poem

until magic johnson smiled again, this time wider

which is hard to fathom.
