Poem: I'll Rule It

by Amy Berkowitz

“I wish I looked like my beautiful dog! He is so sleek with lean, taut muscles. He has inspired me to start doing weight workouts. I hope some day someone will tell me we look alike.”

Everything wonderful abt T’s text message, inviting me to her sister’s Puerto Rican day bbq, and how her sister knows I would make something good and also wants to see me it’s been over a year. So happy that I broke off a leaf of a bush, a perfect leaf-shaped leaf – just to hold it, feel it, enjoy it in my hand, fold or tear it if I care to. I think: I have all this, and I can have this too! When they make Lawrence Street into a kingdom, I’ll rule it.

Blood beer siblings

And the time I accidentally discovered free jazz

When I stayed in my friend’s room in Medford

After I’d moved away, and my friend’s room

Used to be my room, the same

Except she painted it navy blue

And there was all this cool shit in it

They only thing she kept was my
broken red mushroom shaped lamp

Which I didn’t think anyone would keep

And there was all this other shit

I smoked her weed and put on whatever record

Was on the turntable

The cover was orange with some black on it
and I really liked it

My mind got blown

When Em got home I asked her what it was she said

I have no idea

But isn’t it awesome?

How strange the relationship
between food and the economy is

It falls off the bone

I fall off the bone!!
