I Have an Apology, 6 Requests, and 4 Offers (But Not in That Order)
Dear people, sorry I didn’t make it
to my reading tonight
but I finally tried
the medical marijuana I
bought in Aspen this summer
and accidentally spent the evening dancing flamenco
with my cats who
by the way
think I am quite good
and by the way I am a tulip now and if you want to come to my next event
I will try to make sure someone moves the pot that holds me
into the sunlight because the event is
watching me grow
please bring your watering cans and fertilizer
plants love to be tended and spoken to
I run back and forth inside the soil
looking for a sign that I exist
so if you could take pictures of me
and post them on the Internet I would appreciate it
and please clap when I unfurl
