wouldn’t I be nicer? My wife would not
know me. I’d let Ego lose arguments
to others. Listen. If I were born again
I’d quit trolling for fights on Facebook,
stop trying to be a wise guy, leave
off showing pics of me & my muscles,
my dogs, goats, horses, meals, kittens,
children, visits to far away places,
girlfriends going Whoo Hooo. If I were
born again I’d stump and vote for both
Republicans and Democrats knowing you
got to have the other to have the one.
I’d pray, if I were born again, for peace
peace where there is no peace and afflict
the comfortable as well as the afflicted too
—to make the world a better place. I'd
post quotes of famous people, writers,
and thinkers, painters, and musicians so
that we might benefit by their insight
and humanism, if I were born again.
Born Again & Again. If I were born again
I would see what a rip-off artist I am:
reductionist, overstater & understater,
injustice-doer, criminal discriminator
against the whole--damaged and damaging
if I do and damaged & damaging if I don’t,
don’t make no never mind if I were born
again. I’d know what I was doing, comfortable
in the afflictions of of my ongoing and original
spins. Born Again Yet Again I don’t practice
what I preach. If I were born again I sure
would. And walk the talk, that too. Be as good
as my word. Say what I mean and mean
what I say
