All my friends regardless


from the ABC set Brand Spanking

All my friends regardless,
come to my garden and pretend to get along.
Talk about my book deal.
Do not bring your partners;
nobody has fucked anybody.
Pals from my childhood
are invited also; I do not think
you are stupid and boring.

Stage poets, meet page poets, and talk
about people you hate. Fashion industry
professionals, you are kind, not shallow, please
let me introduce the scientists. Yes,
he studies the behaviour of bees.
Assistant editors, step away from the pond
and mingle. The handsome boy
in the suit is wealthy but not bland.
He has written a dystopian sci-fi novel.
This man is an eco-carpenter.

I am on the roof, feeling so various,
astonished by my own width,
with water bombs in each hand.

The cruel and detached writer as delinquent. A water bomb of a poem itself. Very funny.
