Dropping Her Off at the Airport
by Scott Crain
She is gone.
For a week.
The dog will be a wreck.
*(a new buick to whoever can tell me the name of the poet whose style I am using)
Emotional nudity, bipolar philosophy, and expositional music: welcome to Scott Crain's school of Hardcore Poetics. There will be punch and pie at the reception.

I'm thinking of a Comedian named Steve ??? But I'm guessing that's wrong. Blanking on his last name. Big fuzzy hair. Hasn't been around for a long time.

You are thinking of Stephen Wright. And you're right, he hasn't been around for awhile. And, I think you would be correct if he was a poet. But no.
Yes, Stephen Wright, brilliant guy. I know he's not a poet but that's as close as I could get.

Ok Heather, you are allowed to answer this. Because, apparently, my friends who might know the answer don't give a crap, and I'll feel even worse answering it myself.
Miller Williams, 1997 Inaugural poet
