Our poet friend Jim Behrle has had enough (of some toxic substance). "Since I've pretty much burned through the good name my parents gave me, I've decided this is as good a time as ever to legally change my name to 'American Poetry.'"

Since I live near Philadelphia, can I still call him Cumgargle McPunchintheface?
These are the demands and sayings of Behrle.
KAREFUL! he's packing a KREEPIE BOMB under that KAPE!
Matter of time, you're saying.
Tag number four. That is all.
In all fairness, Gumby was already taken, dammit.
American Poetry can be reached at the park, C/O Hobnose Bordercollie and Boomer the Dog.
Boomer didn't get very far with his kreepy request, I'm not optimistic about this one.
This is very odd
but then I like Behrle
So okay
with me.
Oh noetry!
I think he should change his name to Kreepie Kat.
You're going to be impossible to Google.
I am wondering if he'll use Jim Behrle as a pen name.
I can't wait to hear about the death of American Poetry
It appears the corpus of American Poetry, once comprised of trim tetrameter, has ballooned into a flabby alexandrine.
It's not like he's a dactylic hexameter or anything.
I heard he ate Louise Gluck with a knife and fork.
And he's working on a cycle of odes to pizza.
We may still pronounce it Jim Behrle. Most of the letters will be silent
PS: Wouldn't I then have to be featured in THE BEST AMERICAN POETRY series EVERY YEAR?
Sincerely, American Poetry
or you could change your name to david lehman
You could also dress up as one or another animal and get your work into THE BEAST AMERICAN POETRY.
Mr. Poetry, in a single night of shameful self-abuse you'll surely be able to produce a volume of asyntactic lines to make Lyn Hejinian vomit with praise and John Ashbery soil himself in awe.
Get to it.
I won a copy of SELF PORTRAIT IN A CONVEX MIRROR on the twitter machine and it just showed up today. I think I'll pull some kind of Kenny Goldsmith and retype all the poems, change their names to "Untitled" and send them to various little mags to show the world just how unsophisticated the damn kids these days are WTF?
And this is why I hate American Poetry.
me too. I got issues
