Enigma

I wanted to be an enigma instead of this
infinitely fractured fish-boy!

Home-boys! Faux-naifs!
Forgive this fish-voice or if
not him, grieve for thyselves!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

…

Is hog-bane the same as begonias?
Enjamb my iamb, Grandma!

...

I was famous!
I was famous!
I was famous!
I was famous!

I was famous
in another life.
