Autobiographies

autobiographies
never get read by me
i prefer climatries
i like mysteries
whispered forcefully
they’re like ships at sea
listen heather
novels never
i shine weather
poetry makes me weak in the knees
oh my, why buy sci-fi?
why why why?
i like to like what i like
like like
in today’s newspaper
some unpleasant vapor
killed a chimney sweeper
then a cloud of smoke
shaped like James K. Polk
made an ethnic joke
from the AP
a pecan tree
won the grand prix
canada told allah
la di da
the pope’s new soap sold hope
hope hope
i like to like what i like
like like
buy the book about a tuba that adopts a marimba
read the data on the wiener of a diva’s last hurrah
someone sent smoke signals
burning ten dollar bills
about birth control pills
when you texted me
almost dropped my keys
into the latrine
singing ballads
too much salad
isn’t valid
getting paged while on stage makes me age
don’t call i’m all enthralled,
all all all
don’t write i might sit tight
might might might
info nympho is so into ditto because i said so
they said Ovid hated to be quoted saying “la di da"
write the book about the tuba that adopts a marimba
read the data on the wiener of a diva’s last hurrah
