SEX AT OFFICE DEPOT
Bargain box of envelopes says
No-lick, Instant-stick
Popular No. 10 style.
I twitch a tired brow.
I take them home
And stash them like a secret.

DR. SUESSING
Leave me the fuck alone.
Do not call me on the phone,
Do not wake me in the morn,
Do not make me leave the house,
I don’t want to go, go out.
I am thinking, leave me be,
I am brooding, leave it to me.
I am running ‘round in squares,
I am counting how much air.
I am writing purloined poems,
I must survive, alive, alone.
