Forget, Forget, Forget

Forget, Forget, Forget

by Michael Espinoza



Forget, forget, forget all stories.
Once you know the way a story
ends, that's it--you never need
experience it one more time.
It's only children who desire
to hear the same old thing again
a hundred times--you're not a child,
and you don't want to be annoying.

Forget, forget, forget all stories.
You don't want to put out of a
job the people who make movies,
DVDs and even books.  It's
their job to record things for you.
You are not an actor or a
singer.  No one likes a showoff.
So forget all stories now.



Forget, forget, forget all history.
You don't want to turn the clock back
to the times before the world had
freedom and equality--two
things you cannot eat or drink or
wear or live inside for shelter.
Check the calendar to see what
year it is, you primitive!

Forget, forget, forget all history.
History's all irrelevant.  The
only thing you need to know is
everyone in every time and
place desired to live in ours
but didn't have the mindset for it.
That was then and this is now.
Forget all history now.



Forget, forget, forget all poems.
Who likes poems anyway?
Anyone can do it--just
regurgitate whatever's on your
mind and that is all you have to
do to write a poem.  Sigmund
Freud had people write their poems
as they lay upon his couch.

Forget, forget, forget all poems.
Everyone who's anyone
likes songs instead--they're entertaining,
and they have a snappy beat
which you can dance to.  Either that,
or you express your raw emotion
with a raucous angsty tune.
Forget all poems now.



Forget, forget, forget all--er....
Forget, forget, forget all--well....
Forget, forget, forget all--hmm....
--well, nuts, I just forgot my line.
Aw, just forget it.  Never mind.
It wasn't that profound at any
rate--and not important.  Just
forget all that you knew.

Forget, forget, forget, forget,
forget, forget, forget, forget,
forget, forget, forget, forget,
forget, forget, forget, forget,
forget, forget, forget, forget,
forget, forget, forget, forget,
forget, forget, forget, forget,
forget, forget, for--
