NOTES TO SELF

Note to Self
 
Take off 
your clothes.

Unscrew your 
face from 
your skull.

Don’t be 
a pussy.

Be a 
total cunt.

~




Note to Self

Don’t forget 
to remember 

everyone will 
be forgotten.

~




Note to Self

You’re not 
a poet.

You are 
blanked verse.

Nothing can 
be unsaid.

~




Note to Self

Never mind 
what you 

should have 
done. You

are what 
you have 

and have 
not done.

~




Note to Self 

We are 
as intermittent 

as anyone 
can be.

~




Note to Self

When you 
discovered ghosts 

what did 
you learn 

about where 
to go?

~




Note to Self

You could
name names 

but who 
are you?

~

Tom Beckett lives and writes in Kent, Ohio.
