LIFE SECTION - MARCH 1994

Plagiarism is in,   Ranting & Raving is out

Drinking alone is in,   Marijuana etiquette is out

Misunderstanding is in,   Cynicism is out

Fingering your asshole is in,   all other forms of masturbation are out

Defoe is in but Fielding is out

Words are in but Language is out

My Mother is in & your Mother is out

At 9AM I'll be in, then I'll be out until about 6:30

Darth Vader is in, Yoda is out

Fake Interviews are in, Doctored Photographs are out

Luxembourg is in,   Amsterdam is out

Swearing is in but obscenity is out, so, for example:

"Jesus Fucking Christ" is in

"Holy Fucking Shit" is out"

Being out to lunch is in,   being in it for the long haul is out

  Knobby knees are in,  as are clubbed feet

The starving artist is out, but taking what they're giving

cause you're working for a living is in

At its beginning this poem was in, now, conveniently, its gone out
