"MONICA LEWINSKY"

Poet-editor-tenured prof (congrats!) William Allegrezza just created a new journal for experimental poetry, Moss Trill!  And they published my coffee-break poem of yesterday which surfaced without much intention -- it just surfaced because of all the media frenzy over Monica Lewinsky's attempt (in part) to reclaim her name.  I have no problem with that.  Thus, my poem
