The Ways

The ways I had a chapbook released a long time ago. The ways it sold out in less than two days the ways frank’s followed suit.  The ways things come back.  The ways of second chances.  The ways you can win a contest.  The ways you can buy my chapbook again on January 3st.  The ways it has new things inside of it.  The ways it is a newer, prettier girl that wants to sit in your lap.  The ways I love you for listening. 

The ways you can hear me here reading something from this chapbook.  The ways I say “shit” and “cocks.”  The ways you can find fault in me: they are many, but they are mine.
