The poetry of Donald Rumsfeld, via Austin Kleon. That stuff is so good. I remember a couple years ago, at a thrift store, I saw a copy of Poetry Under Oath: From the Testimony of William Jefferson Clinton and Monica S. Lewinsky. I wish I’d bought it. This review of Poetry Under Oath has quite a few excerpts and some of them are pure gold. “The Word ‘Is'” is a classic:

the meaning of the word
‘is’ isIf the—
if he—
if ‘is’
means is
and never has been
that is not—that is one thing
If it means
there is none
that was acompletely
true
statement
