(January 2007: modeled after Oscar Wilde's stunning one-liners and are by no means biographical.)
yielding to temptations
gets you no where
but, damn, it's fun
One time when I yielded,
a stranger bit off my earring--
I did not feel like
Sylvia Plath.
Instant gratification is
a terrible thing, especially
when pursued after
3 or more vodka tonics
That stranger becomes
a trope and, if you are
lucky, you might get
to keep your earrings
You will never get to keep
your dignity; don't worry
it's overrated, anyway
A good reputation is
boring
I hope it's true that only
dull people are brilliant
at breakfast
In that case,
geniuses are brilliant
at the back bar
around 2 a.m.
They think so, anyway,
and then lose their debit cards
If you buy me another
I might dance with you
