Eat and Write

How pathetic it is there be
a professional tour of poker
playing people?
and for men’s sports to be
coveted most?
as if they were female
bodies.
Not to mention, myself, alone,
on a date at a sushi bar-
writing and eating with pity-
going so far as to devour roles with
names of Philadelphia and
California, blah and yummmm!
Jibber jibber new year! jib jib
jib blap bop blop pop!
That’s it right there:
nice jacket, good shave-
good tablet, nice pen-
alone at a bar
can’t buy a beer-
eat and write.
Eat and write.
better than drink and mumble.

  1. what do you mean "...as if they were female
    bodies?" there are plenty of female bodies elsewhere on tv, but that's just it! they are only bodies, perfect airbrushed bodies, with no minds attached. it's quite sickening and lately it's really affecting me.
    maybe not for sports though; you're right.
    ugg.
    i went to sushi yesterday too!
    and i didn't buy a beer either.
    the last few lines
    "eat and write.
    Eat and write.
    better than drink and mumble"
    are amazing. i love that so much.
    and agree wholeheartedly.
