The Selfish Reader is Here
...and you see something, somehow
that puts a lie to all the rest
I hoisted that sack of something up there for a while
sequentially speaking

They're self- congratulating, hear it?
Hard to concentrate with all that cackling and barnyard noise amongst the elderly chickens trying to defeat the inevitable aging process

No more.
I refuse to prop that monstrosity of vanity up.
I will read you quietly, at my leisure.
I could nominate you
You'll never know it was me
Quick and painless
Until
It isn't.

Learned from many mistakes...maybe
I'll read your words and savor them
I'll snack on bananas and apples
...besides the munching

You'll never even know I was there...
Just like a real author of a real piece, are you
...mine to enjoy

I'll keep a lid on it this time.
You won't be pushed forward
...by
me
today

or

ever
