“The Invite” by John D. Robinson

An underground poet
kindly invites me to
a reading;
it’s a generous offer,
but I’ve already
explained that I’m
working on being a
recluse and avoiding
any social,
pretentious,
ego pimping
bullshit
gatherings;
I’ll get back to him
and say I’ll be
unavailable
stoned
and
intoxicated
until
further notice.
