The reason I wanted to meet you here, By Francis Poole

The reason I wanted to meet you here is
Well, because you haven’t been feeling yourself.
As if the same thing could be said about Marsha.
Any thoughts about her lately?
I think you better sit down and rest awhile.
As soon as I can name the show you’ll be on
I’ll let you know. And then all you have to say is,
Welcome to our show.
You can make it any kind of show you want
But remember once we start shooting
All bets are off. Do you still like to write?
Have you written anything lately? Can you even write?
I can only write when I am permitted to write.
It doesn’t really work when I try to write something
I really want to. It’s like water coming down
A sluice. Just open the gate.
But anyway where did you get that talisman
You’re wearing? What does it mean?
Is it supposed to be a circle surrounded by a square
Or a square surrounded by a circle?
Can you go find some hibiscus and
Pull one of the flowers off the stem
And suck the nectar out? Do that please
Before I leave. And have a nice day.
