"when you get old,
either you lose
your hair,
your teeth,
or your mind"

well, you don't have
to brag about it.

i wish i
could lose my mind.
then i wouldn't have
to do shit anymore.
just sit watch
movies all day,
listentunes,
write shitty,
senseless poetry,
read my bookshelf.

boil some noodles
(to match the
consistency of
my brain),
drink beer by the barrel,
wine from the bottle.

display my
cork collection
on the mantel,
hang chicken feet
from the ceiling fan,
shun the beautiful,
shoot craps with the lonely.

but then,
that just wouldn't
be right.
what would
the people
think
?
