In All Modesty

I’ve had a few

stalkers in

my lifetime

ranging from

grotesque to

elegance

I know a few

things about

humility

I’ve had

moderate

success when

it comes to

the statistics

of my love life

for which

I can say

I’m satisfied

I know a few

things about

gratuity

I’ve seen these

elaborate bios

professing success

and a desire for praise

their extended list

of achievements

are pretentious

for the size of

the small press scene

I may or may not

be satisfied with

the length of

my penis

it’s one of the

few things I

conceal when it

comes to writing

my poetry

But if you

must know

whether

it’s a fact

or myth

worthy of

contemplation

all you have to do

is read the contents

of my bio

in all modesty
