exposé

I was a rebel
a liar
a thief
an activist
a pacifist
drinker
druggie
an acid head

pot head
never a crack head

a foodie
a lover a sinner

I was notoriously
famous -
a vagabond
traveller
hitch hiker
road the trains
buses
ships
and cars

I have been jeered at
applauded
published recorded
and heard

I was brash and funny
devoted and loving
loyal lustful and looney
a honey

I have amnesia-
retrograde and
anterograde- I forget
the rest

I have a.d.d.
prosopagnosia
herpetophobia
agoraphobia
latophobic

I have
athazagoraphobia
anthropophobia
ataxophobia
alto phobia

I have a fear of the
color beige-for which
there is no term
anyway beige is not
a color

I have
acousicophobia
and a learning
disability
tinnitus and for
the life of me I
cannot spel

I have a touch of
atelophobia and
anthropophobia
so please whatever
you do -don’t ignore me!

Write while the heat is in you. The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience. HENRY DAVID THOREAU 1817-1864 AMERICAN POET, AUTHOR, PHILOSOPHER, AND NATURALIST. KNOWN FOR “WALDEN POND” ABOUT SIMPLE LIVING IN NATURAL SURROUNDINGS.
