old and new. this is a memoir (a french word which should clearly be pronounced memoo-ear) of times like last week where i wrote nothing of value but took note of several important events in my mind so i could abuse them as inspiration later. i wrote these down on hard, worthless, aging, paper. it had letterhead. so you know its good.

poetry

today i wrote my masterpiece
on letterhead from that place
we know
encrusted it in overlaid gold
submitted it for review not by
peers but the higher ups. you know
the people who really decide
if you’re someone or not

today i wrote my masterpiece
i blogged it on the interwebs
i crossed my fingers and hoped
for wealth. but i knew i was willing
to settle for comments
