Catching People’s Attention
I abdicate
the throne.
I kill
the messenger.
I lock
the good
queen in
a chastity
belt.
I ring
the bells.
I’m a
busy man.
I make
long lists
& give
command performances.
I am the
thin man
I’ve inched
my way
around dread.
I coin
phrases &
write forgettable
rhymes.
I earn
my keep
& pay
ransom.
This makes
me less
than ordinary
more than
spectacular.
Dreamless.
I catch
people’s
attention.
One false
move &
it’s
over with.
you the man, john bennett!!!!
