Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

Minimalist Modernist

thinking like Stein but
drinking beer from a stein
remembering German days
not Paris

contradicting and refuting 
Gertrude's flowery words 
for
a muse is a muse is 

but 
don't 
include 
my Musa

Alkas Poetry August 13, 2019 at 9:01 AM Jeff, i think that a rose is a rose, is a rose, is a rose...a muse is a muse, is a muse, not you musem but really a musa... I wish i had a Stein to drink my beer... salute alkas. Jeff Connelly August 14, 2019 at 8:26 AM I also agree with Gertrude Stein's poetic rose line. I really think that this, though I've read other stories, justifies Andy Warhol's "coke can"; it means nothing symbolically, it's just a coke can. Thanks Alkas.
