I invented solar
paneling. My dad
is a famous talk
show host.
He gloats
about the floatation
tank I bought him
last spring, says he
needs a new one, says
the water is not salty
enough. Meanwhile, I bathe
in the bones of ancients.
I wait tables
for angel
investors.
I’m skilled in the world
of tourniquets
and sex acts, mannequins
and skin disorders. Back pain
can be explained
by stainless steel. Leaving
the party in a boat
yet arriving on a blimp.
I’m kidding about
what I said before
how I snore only
after I drink. I think
what I mean to say is
if you stay around long
enough, I’ll continue
to disappoint.
