Russia Me Lap Am On (for Kenneth Koch)

Artichokes with dark splotches, dry stems,
peeling soft near avocado papa-san.
Pump cheese? Please — pump chew. Pump chew, you bastard!
Pump cheddar!
Fact: Belgium bats its Belgian eyes.
Hungary honey-shaded my heart.
Luxemburg — well, you know how I feel about you, Luxemburg.
And Russia
me lap
am on.
