on second thought

some days i wake

up

and think, i'm a really a good person.

i'm kind,

i'm nice to people

that i don't like.

i show up on time.

and for the most part

i'm considerate

and generous.

i'm really wonderful

and a joy 

to be around.

and then i sit down and start

writing.

putting someone on

the spit, to slow roast.
