Hands on the Hips

hands on the hips is the newest volume of the collected poems of Jhon Z. Baker, compiled from published and unpublished poems. This is poetry for the real, poetry for the people, poetry for the moment, poetry to satiate the needs, poetry of an American outlaw.

untitled (the sane)

The sane point fingers
to keep themselves appearing sane
to stay their definition

sticky fingers at me
I will not obsess your definitions
I am comfortable in my own
imbalance
and deformed self
