no. 11 (update with poem)

A friend wrote me and said she thought I should add to the list of ten things, one more item:

11) Once tried to set a poet on fire.

What poet, did I do this? I wrote back. When, where?

She wrote back enough identifying information that I did remember. But 11 must still be amended, however briefly, to:

11) Have forgotten that once I tried to set a poet on fire.

But now I remember. He was a REALLY bad poet. It was in Atlanta.... anyone else remember this?

UPDATE: And my favorite anonymous commenter ever leaves the following poem:

i lift my glass
of port
and tilt it to the north,
and the other cardinal points
and to you,
thinking of
all the things
i have not done
lest
i conjure the waif.
