I Googled myself
to see what would happen
it felt good for a few moments
but I was not alone.
There were lots of me out there
all over the planet.
I was a doctor, a scientist, a murderer,
an artist, a clairvoyant,
a father, a brother, and a friend.
I live in Singapore, Athens,
Oklahoma City,
Seattle, San Francisco, London, Oshkosh (B'Gosh),
and Pittsburgh.
I've written books, been married hundreds of times,
and have lived and died more times than I can count.
When I finally got to the real me
(after ten pages),
I was still here,
in living color,
looking at myself
for what I really was.
A writer who wants to be read.
