Day Twenty-Seven and the Poet Laureate

Poet Laureate

.

Find me a town where the outskirts

roadside sign reads: “Pop 3”. 

Two blind, one deaf, then me. 

Where I will write for the two,

speak for the one, then petition the town

to nominate me its first

Poet Laureate.

They will proudly display my books in their library. 

Print and audio.

I will appear at important public functions. 

Give invocations.  Lend words to things that

never needed words before I showed up.

Snaps will abound.

This must be immortality.
