1969

Sometimes it is important
To do everything wrong
Talk uncomfortably about
The sex thoughts of insects
To your parents' friends,
For example, or pile up
Several boxes outside
Your boss' office --

Now the impossible perfect
Version of yourself who
Ruins your dreams can stop
Paging you at all hours
And you can finally discover
The penguin room
At the zoo down the street.

Here, here are my shoes --
Feel free to barf in them.
