A FITTING END



I wasn't born into sin.
I created that for myself
and had a damn good time at it,
thank you.

Oh, you'll be happy to learn

that here--the Las Vegas
of the solar system
(if not the galaxy)-- 
what happens on earth
stays on earth.

So 'ave at it boys and girls--

everything's permitted.
How do I know?
Because it exists!

HA!


And to think at one time
I wanted to be a squid farmer.
So maybe I missed my calling
but in my present role of
guru/ philosopher and certified
bra fitter, I can serve the world
on dual levels.

A fragment in time

becomes a fragment
in your poem.
String enough fragments together
and voila!
The question being should there be
a unifying thread?

Is there a unifying thread

that runs through your shirt?
(That's some nice threads, man!)


Einstein looked and looked

for a unified theory of the universe.
He never found it.

So my advice to you is to

go out there and be the best
squid farmer you can be.
And leave these larger questions 
of life to us professionals.

And I hope you'll come

 in for a fitting soon.
