I rule the land
I'm writing another memoir,
and, for some reason, I keep thinking
about my first girlfriend.
I don't really want to write about her,
because I got burned.
I only want to write about situations
where I appear to be a conquering king.
Augusten Burroughs
The auditorium was packed
and most people there
held a copy of his latest book.
He was as funny in person,
as he was inside his books.
It is nice when someone measures up
to your expectations;
it is nice when your literary heroes
don't let you down.
Good job Augusten.
Can you freeze brownies?
I made brownies, yesterday
and they may have been the best
brownies that I have ever made,
they may have been as good as
any brownies that I have ever eaten
and that includes brownies
that I have eaten at Christmas parties.
Better off than many
I am sneezing, this morning
because it is cold
but I don't want to turn on the heat
because the bill was very high. last month
without the heat being turned on.
I am a victim of my income,
or lack thereof, but there are
far worse things that I could be.
Significance
Nothing seems significant, this morning
a world series was won
while men and women continued to die
in wars in other places
Funny how war can come to seem normal.
He is talking to me
Off in the distance
I see who I want to be.
