Found - Guano
by Steven Gowin
On makeup
My last ex said
mascara's made of
snail ooze and bull semen
That's as gross
as bat guano
He used to
tell me lipstick
was made from ants
He hated it when
I wore blush but that
ex was a dick so... too bad
He's dead now

Quite funny!
Tess Gallagher once stated she - or anyone for that matter - had to be careful what was said around or to Raymond Carver because the statement, point, or basic story would at some point be found in one of Carver's short fictions or poems.
Found poems or marvelous. The lyrics for John Lennon's "Being for the Benefit for Mr. Kite" were found - word for word - on a Circus poster.
