Reading at a Bookstore’s Open Mic.

Matthew Guzman

I normally hate these things.
Hearing other people
Spout off stale similes regarding
Cats or the “art of creation.”
My stuff isn’t the greatest,
Mostly depressing, and
Sometimes involves disturbing
Sexual imagery.
I’m a poor reader & all the
Journals have been quite efficient
With sending prompt rejection letters.

The host calls my name,
I hold my breath, heart
Beating in my throat –
“The title of my poem is...
The Art of Training Your Bi-Polar
Pussy.”
I forget how the rest goes...
