I'm a poet, and I didn't know that I was one...

Words for birds.

Talking at them

One by one

Listen to me click my tongue

My hands try to give a hand

Accentuating the pointlessness

Parrots draw a fascinated crowd

They ask the bird to repeat

Fuck. Shit. Cocksucker. Fag.

How can I ever hope to compete?



I hate poets

I hate “poets”

They never tell the truth

They say things like,

“Death is sweet”

And “Love is tragic”

But I think we all know

It’s the other way around
