How's It Hanging?

“I have done one braver thing

  Then all the Worthies did,

Yet a braver thence doth spring

  Which is, to keepe it hid.”

John Donne, from “The Undertaking”

How’s It Hanging?

I'm not a nature boy,

I'm a city boy.

But I'm not a city boy,

I'm a metaphysical poet.

Except, I'm not a poet,

I'm an animal. Well,

less an animal

than a big bang.

That’s how I hang.
