a non-entity

Tucked in a house
locked inside a room,
signing autographs
on editions of his book for
semi-illiterate daydreamers…

Opening a thin window he
pours out ice cold water
to drown the paparazzi
and the literaryluminaries
who demand to hob-nob
at the kitchen table!

What crud!
What flummery!
What doggerel!
Utterly weightless
guileless scribbles…

Analphabetic inanities
Anomic and Rascal brained!
Pure decultured paste
dead gene synapsis!

-Only I am the poet of high esteem!

Who do you think you are,
William Topaz McGonagall?

ha! good poem, colinsign. William Topaz McGonagall. don’t we all live in fear of the comparison? the Ed Wood of poetry!
