Don't
be fooled. I'm brain dead,
have
been for years.
No
one believes me.
I feign this cleverness,
and share cute quips for laughs--
I keep
a pocket full of
polysyllabics
on standby
just in case...
bag
ladies and junkies are fun, easy prey.
I
stir the workings of indoctrinated minds
with
rhetoric. I play the games people play--
and
know that they're Eric Berne's.
But
it's all leftovers and illusion,
eluding alluded flighty bits
from a meager, forgettable past.
I'm a farce, a fake, the impostor in your midst.
Don't
listen! Find my jacket, tie it tight!

Please continue being brain dead. Otherwise, your cute quips might become erudite nonsense, and bag ladies like me might not talk to you.
