In These Times

Janet Kuypers
(adaptive poetry 09/26/11,
where all bold lines are titles from books listed
in the Chicago Underground Library catalog)

In These Times
Have you learned to
Enjoy Yourself Under This Cover
when everything is only
People vs. Empire
In These Times
I only think of
Somethings that don’t ever help

with my Altered Ink
In These Times
my
Thoughts
are
in a Stream

you want
Another Story?
Well,
In These Times
they’ll tell you
this is only
Good Medicine

but
In These Times
I’m
Not Just Another Pretty Face
and
I’m Glad I Look Like A Terrorist

these
Other Voices
give me
One Part Honor
But more importantly,
Proof I exist

In These Times
it is no longer
Yesterday
When I Was Younger...
I needed the Slate to keep me strong
I needed the Marrow coursing through me
I needed it
