BEDSIDE MANNER

Folder: 
AMERICAN ZEN KOANS

 

I don’t feel

I could handle

celebrity too well

 

I’m too crude,

too coarse

and abrasive

 

I could just

see myself

doing a book signing

at a bookstore

 

some guy would be like

“Your stuff really moves me.”

and I’d be like

“Yeah, thanks.”

and writing in his book:

 

“The girl right behind you

really moves me

so move along pal

 

my bedside manner

always did leave

something to be desired.
