The Poetry of Jose Canseco

Jose Canseco has a twitter feed now. Isn't that marvelous?

Well, he was babbling nonsensically today. But then I realized he was actually writing some sort of postmodernist poem.

I've added some formatting -- I've made it a "concrete" poem, as I think it should be, by adding white space and a visual motif to it. I added some punctuation and italics and boldface. All the correct punctuation is mind; the lack of punctuation, and the Section 8 period use, is per Canseco's original.

Otherwise, this is work of poetry is entirely Jose Canseco.

It's called "how do we stop global warming"
