Ashbery's "Wrong Kind of Insurance" -- and how to read Ashbery. Dactylic ending of that poem (or, yes, anapestic; it can be a matter of choice how you time it): "Each night / Is trifoliate, strange to the touch." Then two Cummings poems. Hearing vs. seeing. Reading vs. seeing (how the intelligence agencies dope out people who claim they don't understand a language). (NOTE TO JEFF: I learned this from Goffman's Strategic Interaction. Text me as soon as you see this.) Brooks' "We Real Cool," and its line endings.
