[2017] This Poem Is Not About You

 
Play it again, Sam  
thoroughly and through  
but without that bias  
you're accustomed to  
This poem is not about  
You or You or  
You-You-You  
 
Hit the button, PAUSE  
for your own cause  
Check the fine print  
each and every clause  
What confirms your  
suspicion?  
The applause?  
Guffaws?  
No one here  
is breaking the Laws  
 
Claim  
Plausibility Deniability?  
No need to  
Dear, everything  
written by Me -  
not about You  
It's not my mission in life  
How can I get this through  
your numb-skull-ed  
thick ego?  
 
What is it  
in your head  
that makes you think  
I go to bed  
dreaming up  
ways to make you  
the topic of conversation  
daily as folks drink  
water in congregation  
around the cooler?  
 
I got better things  
to do with my spare time  
measured with a ruler  
not your reasons to go  
with my rhyme  
Inspiration  
coming at me  
from all directions  
 
So ....  
does this write  
pass your inspections?  
 
Or do I really have to  
spell it out for you?  
 
This poem is not about  
Yooooo-uuuuu-ooooo-uuuuu-ooooo
