Enough Free Jazz

I have been in love several times

and I have had exactly one seizure

and I think it is good

to eat french fries

with lots of salt

and a cold glass of Fanta

even at eight fifteen in the morning

you needn't worry about the surfeit

of french fry varieties

because they are all excellent

shoestring

tater tot

cheese fries

crinkle cut

waffle

you cannot go wrong

although a girl should never attend dinner

with her father unless she has a T-shirt

that says Just a Father

and a Daughter Without a History

of Opioid Use in block letters

such as one would find

in an early printing press

not that I go to special collections

to pore over medieval tomes

I'm not brainy

and I'm certainly not poor

au contraire

my favorite part

of Vegas was always

Paris
