a poem for today, 2 August 2012

[a letter sorted sonnet of sixteen sentences and its image]

Hey sweaty feet, stop laughing.

I got a job in a library in Canada.

I'm not an alcoholic, I promise.

I like to keep my leg in as it were.

Just don't forget your promise.

I aint paying you to be my mother.

I've only got a few moments left.

The summer is always a weird time.

I wasn’t there in the beginning.

I just want all of this behind us.

I wish I'd missed it all together.

You should have come to me first.

The man with the yellow hat is a fool.

Yes would you please put it there.

This is the object lesson, this. 

It tends to ruin the surprise.
