GOOBER SAYS HEY

for andrew



C Ra McGuirt





my friend the linguist/attorney
& occasional cartoonist
calls me a grocery-store genius.

by this, he means
he believes me to be
possessed of potential
for rocking the world

if only i had
an academic degree
or more dedication
to focus&form

instead of spending my afternoons
rocking on the porch
between cracker barrel&soda machine
whittling, spitting,&shooting the breeze
outside the main street mercantile
of my mental Mayberry.

i see his point,&yet,
am i really a grocery-store genius
or a global village idiot?

both or either
might be true.

here, anj--
i whittled

this one
for you.
