ALTERNATE REALITY

BUT DAD, HE'S A POET
and so you’re telling me
that a beautiful French girl
will be kissing me
and whispering, “Je t’aime, Je t’aime”
and I imagine
that would be
a spectacular turn of events
Sacre Merde!
that would be
a pretty good trade off
I’m sure I would
be able to find
some kind of job
to, you know, pay the bills
but the concept is intriguing
and it is beginning
to dawn on me
that I probably should be
somewhere over there
writing outrageous poems
about my X-rated exploits
on those fabled Parisian streets
with all the legend
and plush history
It is truly
a pretty picture
that I’ve been aspiring
to paint my whole life
