Writing with chopsticks

Feedback Received!

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
