day THIRTEEN HUNDRED and EIGHTY NINE

Keeping the Answers to Myself 


Man, I rather stay
on the shelf than
pout to the dilated
elite.

Sing my song of
sacred plenty—alone.

Not understood or pampered,
skim “their” answers featured
on bumper stickers and yard signs.

Keep to myself,
than walk away
with my integrity
intact…

than become belligerent…
while worshiping hidden

fat.

--Dan Provost
