confessional poem #6

cut the crap, dino
we want confession, not this
fancy dan jitterbug shit
if you're going to confess
then do it or shut up about it!
the man makes a good point, dino
it serves no one's interest -
this incessant tap-dancing
like gene kelly on pcp
damn it, man
confess and be damned to it!
you should listen to this guy, dino
he makes strong sense in no uncertain terms
after all, floundering about like some teenage
dipshit with his scrotum stuck in his zipper
is that the image you want to convey?
buck up! show some moral fibre -
eat some shredded wheat or something
get back to basics - enunciate!
look, nobody asked you to confess anyway
you're the one who brought it up, but
instead of delivering the goods
you prefer to jockey about like erkel on crack
hemming and hawing, getting all cutesy
and mugging it up for cheap yuks, i mean
what the fuck, dino
why don't you grow the fuck up
swing for the big green monster
like they do in boston - at fenway
in fact, now that i think about it
there's a shitload of priests in boston
who could teach you the ins and outs of confession
instead of winging it like some crazy-ass jackdaw
you could be confessing your ass off with the big boys!

i'm as guilty as the next - guiltier. it's hard to keep up on the interaction sometime, but it's more fun when you do.

Why do we want to confess and to whom? Many do for various reasons, to clear shit or dreads, to make a fresh start, to unburden, to enlighten. This is getting to it you're beginning to open up, and the getting there has its own adventure. Darn good.

as painful as it may be, there is some relief to owning up, as denial only furthers the discontent.......as i see it, life is a journey to recognize your authentic self

I wish I could confess with the big boys.
this protestant work ethic making a wreck out me
makes me want to do like the gentiles do

I am looking forward to your book dino.
