HOLD SHIFT TO RUN

a poem

I hook a carrot to lead the ass

(I’m the ass in this example)

And do what I do until

Like Balaam’s

It talks back

Then think too much about what people think about me when they haven’t given one thought about me

Then it’s back to jingle jangle

Find shiny things to dangle

Stare at spinning mobile

And reassure myself that

Beam is cheaper than therapy
