Writing with chopsticks
I write with chopsticks
Carefully
Awkwardly
I drop hints, thoughtfully
Grasping at broccoli
I tell the whole truth
Partly
I’m partisan
Throw me a party
Pick out the best parts of me
//
Order me Chinese
Take-out
Pick-up
Leave a portion of my fortune
For the stake-out pickup
Ask a badge for respect
And watch him go nuts
I guess there must be
Something in the jelly doughnuts
//
Let’s talk soup
Let’s talk truth
Let’s chop suey
Before I get sued
For a second time
Let’s shoot a movie
I’m making record time
the upper echelon
They are not approving
They have a hard time proving
All my shaking and my moving
//
I see an army
At the moment
Watching football
But look how angry
They can get
With one missed field goal
Punch lines plucked up
Put down awkwardly with chopsticks
I’m pulling punches
Pulling strings of Russian rockets
