The Art of Disappearing

When they say Don't I know you? say no


When they invite you to the party

remember what parties are like

before answering.

Someone telling you in a loud voice

they once wrote a poem.

Greasy sausage balls on a paper plate.

Then reply.


If they say We should get together

say why?

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star How I wonder what you are up above the world so bright like a diamond in the sky

big>

Down Derry Down My Pippin My Clown.

Upset the applecart going to town

So we pick up the apples and dust off your hat

And sing Down Derry Down Derry just like that


It's not that you don't love them anymore.

You're trying to remember something

too important to forget.

Trees. The monastery bell at twilight.

Tell them you have a new project.

It will never be finished.


When someone recognizes you in the grocery store

nod briefly and become a cabbage.
