Dee Wee By Wayne F. Burke

the plumber fixed the sink

plugged with the life

I live

here

on Planet Crouton,

in an a.p.t.

with the shades drawn

and door locked

on the second floor

of a house

on a back street

in a town

people avoid

and so should you

unless you want to look me up

I am in the phone book

"Wayne F." not

"Wayne P."

who is some other jerk

got a Dee Wee

recently

reported by the newspaper

and the dopes at work

thought it was

me.
