Affirmations Are Toasts For The American Dangles

I am this morning so self-confident!  
Have eaten white grapes of surety!

Drunk
on the wine of “Attentive To My Own Needs”
I leap the hurdles, crash doors of sand
and grit, go through to comfortable rooms
that may not have been meant for me…
I am so uncaring of that now!  

This is
my self-esteem addicted to “getting away with it!”
High school antic immortal forging ahead!

I’m going to make a status update in diamond plate
that will bear up against bullets and false witness!

If you wanted mystery, fog, melancholy, 
realism — not here!  

I’m an open children’s book,
read me, snuggle to me, fall as asleep as I will
so, so soon, in the arms of schizo-attractiveness,
in the arms of my robot lovers,
certain of the good intentions of the universal grasp
of obvious, of simple, of gathered wisdom;
pucker for me!

Kiss me kiss me kiss me!
KISS ME I’M GOAL-ORIENTED!
Kiss me!

I shall achieve exactly as I define!

Indeed, I am in the place of definitions
and I shall not change a thing!
