in preparing for a tv appearance

Topic: oops

in preparing for a tv appearance

to promote my new book,
i asked the host
what were my restrictions
regarding language
or content

oh, were cable
dont worry about it.

just read
whatever you want.

just to play it safe
i e-mailed him a file
containing everything
i thought i might want to read.

the next day
he wrote back
saying everythings fine,
but please dont read the poem
some dumb *****.

either dont read it
or please change the line.

now the poems about this guy
(a dumb *****)
who plots a public suicide
to make a political statement.

but, hes a rookie at public suicide
and he blows it.

he forgets to inform the media
and ends up
setting himself on fire
with no one watching.

i thought it was
a pretty funny poem
but it was either too political for him
or he didnt like the word,
and he asked me not to read it.

so, here i sit,
going through my stack of poems,
trying to come up with
22 minutes worth of magic.

finally,
bored with it all,
i put the stack away and go upstairs.

i walk into the kitchen
and Kathy asks:

well, howd it go?
what are you going to read?

i crack open a beer,
look at her and say:

aw, heck,
i dont know.

just
some dumb *****.
