on becoming. . .

i don't know nothing about originality
i delight in the found and appropriated
being derivative is my goal
i don't care about thing-ness only what things can give
when it comes to boats i prefer ones that float
about cars only that they start when i want
and stop when i need them to
every being has their uniform
from professor to house painter to street person
if i want to be individual i'd start driving a yugo
and blasting polkas from my am radio
but everyone will be doing it
