Chicagoetry: I Am Not Yet Famous

I AM NOT YET FAMOUS

Like a Weather
Man,

I name
Clouds.

Lately, I'm
Digging

Chinese: Wo Yen,
Wo Dur,

Mao
Zedong.

This kind
Of

Thing.
I consider myself a FAITHFUL SON of these "United States" (a

Wholly-owned subsidiary
Of

The People's Republic
Of

China ™)
In love

With freedom, grace
And bountiful

Crops.
Like a Weather

Man, I calm
Crowds. Hold on,

Hang
Tuff.
