NOW IT:S SERIOUS?
by King Otho

The halls are filled with names of
winners
losers
champions
dead people
The trees calmly
EXIST
The mind reminds
of times in
–
the forest
–
clubhouse disasters
tornados of authority
Do
do words in order
actually
relate to each other
I began typing this poem
and the computer
auto-typed the rest
I read it briefly
and hit enter
to accept
Accept
accept
Is that spelled right?
Right click for a
list of suggestions
Hmmmm,
yes
it seems to be.
Doesnt look it though
One uh dem
weird words.
You know them
WEIRD words
i before e
except in
WEIRD WORDS
like in spanish
ASCIENDO
uh
yes, YES
A S C I E N D O
or did I mean
asiento?
–
The other one.

Oh lord,
I think you
for this bounty
of connections
I am received
In heaven
earth heaven
my mind
in real
always
now and
for real now

amen
