i’ll never understand the pyromaniac
thought process of burning copies -
in the age where the original is somewhere
floating in the world of data -
ready, searchable, and locatable

no need to be a narcissist and pretend to
freudian slip in a circumstance,
that you too - benefit
the doedoe always seems to have dementia,
joint account info due to a mistake in new,
pretending-to-be-homeless
address differentia.. i meant to ask ya,
do y’all just play dumb,
or this is where your I.Q. is really at, yea?

or is this all from the house and apartment
we had to scrounge every corner of
a guardian angel’s home, for?
instead of finding inner peace,
and not ignoring the need to address things,
instead of being so sloppy in loose ends,
pretending to cope?
