DIY: a song of myself

“Listen to
yourself.

talk to
yourself

and others
will also.”

-- “Poem Written in by Dreams by W.C.W.” via Allen Ginsberg

Often, I have sparked arguments keeping my thoughts to myself. I like to keep to myself. I keep myself as one keeps vigil. I keep myself as one keeps chickens, in the coop of myself, where my self can glut on the good seed of myself and couple with the cock of my self. I pray long hours to myself at midnight, in the dark night of myself.  I brood by myself and hatch my self, myself. When they remark how quiet I am, I know it is the beginning of a great conversation-- they with themself. Yes! I am full of myself. I want others to be too. Things must be full so they can overflow. A selfless self is like a chapel without a chant, or a coop without a cluck. Nobody should be left selfless, if only for the sake of song.
