I’m an absurdist

Ok fine,
I’m an insomniac
constantly writing poetry
about no sleep
and screenplays about normal
people doing nothing so great.

Yeah,
if I liked talking
I’ll be sure to tell you about it.
I like being close-mouthed sometmes.

But remember
you’ve never met a person
like me.
That, you can’t argue with.

You ask for the time,
and I’ll do a lyrical dance
about six fifty-two.
You ask me what my favorite song is,
I’ll give you a kiss on the lips.
If you’re ever mad at me
I’ll let you charge at me
like a bull.
I’ll give you the horns
if you give me the sombrero
and refer to me as Pablo El' Matador.

You’ve never met
someone like me
because when you’re sad,
I’ll write you a poem about
yips of the universe.

Hello,
I'm an absurdist.
So watch me tapdance
while doing a handstand
for no reason at all.

We should start a club.

Being one who would certainly qualify, I much enjoyed this.

(One of my favored authors is John Irving, btw. He has absurdism down to an art methinks)

Enjoyed your viewpoint, and grinning wide--I understand it completely.

Has anyone ever called you a tonic? I enjoyed your poem immensely. You must be great fun to be with - and particularly after most stressful days!

I am a "somniac" (as opposed to an insomniac). I could fall asleep standing on one leg in the busiest street in New York (first I'd have to get there from South Africa) on the last shopping day before Christmas.

I've never met a person like you but I sure like your poetry.

Thanks everybody...

Connie - I've already kissed the screen and nothing happened, lol. Welcome to PiP!

Serenity - We should start a club. I'll laminate the nametags.

Owl - Wow, we're pretty unique people. Come join the club with Serenity and I.

Lady - You're pretty special too.
