Anti-erotic poems lifted from the NYT

These lines are taken from a review of an anthology of American erotic poetry. The anthology sounds awful, but the review was brilliant!

1) "Their Sex Life" — A.R. Ammons

One failure on
Top of another.


2) "On Reading Poorly Transcribed Erotica" — Jill Alexander Essbaum

She stood before him wearing only pantries
and he groped for her Volvo under the gauze.


Happy Easter!
