I’M THE ME I WANT TO BE by Larry Goodell
Look it up Google the fool and write it down
just borrow and transcribe steal there’s nothing
left of your brain but partridge no
postage, rather porridge I mean mush.
You’ve been staring at your selfie so long
you don’t know whether your legs are erased
or one is too long as you look up legs
and positions for being more attractive
gluing your false eyelashes on upside down
as it doesn’t matter since you can
alter your selfie any way you want
as your metal ears and nose clash
as you attempt to stare
through your black pancake make up
at the message you just got from
the message you just sent Hello
truly you, it’s so cool to meet you again
the nonstop nonthinking phone to myself
texting, you are so delicious having bought
52-50 perfume for the noisome crowd except
look up crowd what is that something to avoid
keep it to your automatically appropriate
self winning the lottery don’t you wish
the complete installation of a walk-in tub
for teenagers look it up stupid how old am I
I don’t have to remember a thing
since I don’t even know what organs
are appropriate for me to look best the next time
I ask myself or rather itself if I still
have a body or did it fly to Mexico or did
that thing you saw on TV really exist I
just got half of my hair done lip red
and the other half clipped down to stubs of
blue green there, my selfie mate just told me to
cut the whole thing off but when I asked
what is life in a loud voice that
got attention the thing crashed
and I couldn’t face myself during the charge
which was only 5 minutes which was
the worst experience of my life oh shit
it’s my birthday now what was I going
to alter this time oh yeah that god thing
who the fuck is god and the pop ups
take over and there is no way out but
happy times and the showers of balloons
that pop up in abundance every time I
congratulate myself. There it goes again!
