A check for $53 its in front of me
Replacing the cash I laid out last week
Buying a lamp for a friend at Costco
Since I belong and she does not.
Do you belong? Would you be a better
Person if you did or is this irrelevant, just
Noise and not signal? Certainly I’m glad to
Help out and Do my friend this little favor.
I don’t belong to any political party, always registered
As an independent. Even in college I would not
Join a frat because I was GDI. The kind of people with whom
I prefer to spend time would not belong to frats.
Or sororities, since I enjoy time with women as well as or
Even more than men. Though I spend much time these days with
Evan and he does not belong to Costco and did not join a frat
Even though he spent a decade at Uni.
Every time I typed belong in this poem I spelled it
Wrong, or incorrectly, except this last and so at least I
Belong to one useful club–humanity where no one is
Perfect, at least no the last time I looked.
