[New-Poetry] Idle thought

[Anny Ballardini]

Very probably the "who cares" reigns at home by David's student. 

I can't even believe it that I don't have anything to correct this weekend, except an article. But I just keep on yawning, this might be what is left of me in this moment, a big yawn...

  I remember some reviewer who slammed him a few years back when Collins-bashing was a kind of sport saying that his "just plain guy" diction and stance was a sham becuase you do have to be pretty widely read to get all of Collins's references. I guess my answer to the reviewer and the student would be to ask if it's too much trouble to do a little research if warranted. My bottom line is if the poem pulls me in, I'll make an effort to learn a bit about the subject being alluded to. If the poem doesn't pull me in, who cares?
