The Corporate Poet 

 

checks his stocks 

appears on fox

crosses picket lines 

during writer's block

 

writes ad copy

with imaginary genders

supports divestment

goes there anyhow

 

self-identifies as 

anarchist

at the branding workshop

he's a networking dervish

 

name checks all my

favorite artists

three heartbeats away

from poet laureate

 

crowdsourcing lines

sending back wines

he’s resigned to his

success, corporate poet
