Poem # 1

"Classify"

State your name and address lady,
then tell me where you're from.
Last name first and first name last
'cause we gotta move this thing along

Rank and file and exact location --
are these the matters of identification?

I don't have answers to your questions
Not the kind of answers you seek
Fill in the blank and True or False,
Small boxes which ask for a check

"Fine" and "Good" can't be the only responses
for the question, "How are you?"

And just because it's the biggest footprint
you swear you've ever seen,
does not mean that you know at all
who I am and where I've been.
