By J.J. Tindall
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.
