THIS MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE

My poems are a translated love;
you can feel the lover. This
was written by someone 
who knows how to kiss.

Byron, old poems, are safely dead;
Rosalinda, I know, I know;
analyze a prose poem, instead;
frowning, not loving; new;
written for anyone, not you. 
Today the poem is workshoppped 
professionally;
everything's complete;
the teacher has been paid.

This, however, feels like it was tossed
on the internet to get the poet laid.
How yucky. This line
is sticky; it smells like red wine.

Give me the nerd, the university,
the book, glossy and blurbed.
The New York Times reviewed.
That's how it's done.
The museum. The nice watch. 
The Abstract Nude.
