To Be Great and Okay

by Fred Aiken

do you know what I’m supposed to do with this,

because I have no clue,

I wish it came with instructions, though I’m sure I’d ignore them too,

though maybe it’s supposed to make me comfortably uncomfortable

in a weird state of clueless innuendo suggesting

I knew what to do today,

but that’s a lie, and it’s okay…or great
