I don't need to dive into
your crystal clear blue water
or cruise around your islands
while you drown me with that
uptown yuppie frown
five square feet of perfect soil
veggie co-op blather
cancel my subscription
to bacterial farms you call
health clubs
dance clubs
single bars
mental bars
that keep you from living
but you need that fix
your smoothie of the month
delivered in time for lunch
fat-free yogurt with
~sprinkles and nuts~
your uber-caff duel expressed
cinnamon, whipped cream latte
or whatever-
cancel my subscription
to that thing, that TV guide
I don't need a ride
through your classic TV
father knows best, digitized fantasy
somewhere lost in space land
commercialize this, you media freaks
with your demographic, nearly spastic
pilot of a new show screenplay
and don't you dare
attempt to sell me
change me
dress me
feed me
destroy my mind with your greed
so cancel my subscriptions-
yes that means all of them
'cause what you offer, I just don't need

dcpoet44almost 20 years ago......looks very familiar to me. it looks like someone is taking a stand. the ending is super. you couldn't have said it any better than that. nice read.
perksalmost 20 years agoit flows, it says something, it's got the right proper amount of length of poetry skills, internal structure. It rocks...
and I have to say, I've been saying that a lot today, which scares me. I'm about to go see if someone put some X in my diet coke. *looks around all paranoid like*
Eumenidesalmost 20 years agoYou are ALL killing me. This day should be marked down in everyone's calendars as the day the poetry flew high and free. Jeeeeeeezus, Jean. I read this aloud and wanted to frickin' read it again and again because it was so right coming out of my mouth. What an amazing job you did with this poem. It has a hip rhythm I adore and is impeccable. Don't change it, pleaaaaaase.
