Your Poetry Dot Com - the lady writer

the lady writer

wrote this article
about me.

in it
she says
we recently
went out for drinks
and talked about
“the current state
of American literature”.

no big deal, really…

except
it never happened.

not one word
of it.

i don’t know
why she wrote it.

i’m certainly
not that interesting.

my conversational skills
are non-existant.

i am not
a fascinating guy.

anyway,
if you happen to read her article,
what’ll tip you off
that it’s made up
is the fact
that i couldn’t care less
about the current state
of anyone’s literature
and wouldn’t be caught dead
talking about it.

so, to you, ma’am –
the next time
you feel the need
to write about
us
having an imaginary conversation
and imaginary drinks…

remember this:

it’s
your turn
to buy.
