The Dipshit
That I have been what the sages deemed a dipshit
is not at this point up for debate. For I have dipshat
via many exploits, many modalities, many choices,
too many to unpack here in the splendid courtroom.
I’ve come to bring Her Excellency’s awareness unto
the futility of her exercise. For though I am honored
by Her generous attention, I regret I must refer Her
to the annals of my dipshiterry so as to give Her fair
warning should She continue to pursue Her course.
What She has heard about my make-out strategies,
while true & flattering, paint an incomplete picture.
The gardening, as well, was temporary, but enough
in its intimations of humility & devotion to become
folded into the other identities that combined create,
especially considering their fraudulence, the dipshit
kneeling here before Her, begging Her to reconsider
what the dipshit considers a romantic but ultimately
misguided philanthropism. For the dipshit deserves
no such thing. For the dipshit is best left to his own
devices: the lonely dipping, shitting, as the sages, in
their mysterious design, intended. Her time is far too
valuable—& mine, though I hoard it like the dipshit
that I am, is not (as I am its) mine.
