A Conversation With Somebody I Know

Views: 49

this poem is mine
I don't have a receipt for it 
because I didn't buy it during Black Friday advertising
or fight for parking spaces and crowds at the mall 
it wasn't advertised on TV
and no salesman interrupted my day with unsolicited calls
offering differed payments and low interest if I bought more than one
 
this poem is mine
it was given to me
and I personally attended to its alterations
snugly fitting like my own skin
approving of its style
its color
the material is so comfortable
I don't know why I didn't get one earlier
 
this poem sees what I see
feels everything I feel
and you can't understand it
because this poem don't belong to you
gotta get your own
try it on
and see if it is really
you
 
can't copy my poem
because its facsimile
thereof
will always be unreasonable
 
don't compare my poem with yours
or say that your poem is better than mine
because the more time you spend checkin' out my poem
the less time you will spend on your own
and you will never finish it
 
this is my poem
not yours
this poem is me
not you
and you can't fit it
'cause it don't fit you
 
feeling pretty 
sanctified
and satisfied with it

think I'll go out later
and get me some more
