If you want crap masquerading as worthwhile poetry, you can’t do much better than Whitman.*

“I celebrate myself” . . . indeed, he does, and it’s about the only damn thing he knows how to do.

*Okay, except Thoreau. What a poser. “On Walden Pond,” my happy foot. “On my mother’s back forty” is more like it.
