MY THESIS PROJECT

I have this new piece,
I put you all in big plastic bubbles
sitting down
in those
brown plastic stacking chairs
and your faces,
your whole torso
it's covered
so you're all looking at
each others shoes.
dockers and chucks,
pink socks and loafers.
you're a little worried,
you're trying to
piece together
you're neighbor's
brains
from these clues
When I tell you all
you are require
to communicate
with each other
via tiny scraps of torn paper
which you will throw
attached to colored yarn
towards other peoples' shoes.
And of course,
you won't know what to write
and two minutes later,
you end up with the first line
of that aggravating
Robert Frost poem,
something you will regret
with a cringe as soon
as it hits the toes next door,
but they will
pick it up
and pause
and scribble something
in response
on your little paper.
You reel it back
hand over hand
and you'll be in the middle
of trying to decipher
the ornate loops
in your this person's cursive
when I get on a microphone
and announce to the
entire room
'THAT'S MY FUCKING LIFE, YOU ASSHOLES'
I storm out
the double doors
of the community center meeting hall.
big scene.
You all wait an awkward moment
before getting up
looking around, and
applauding
to yourselves.
SUCCESS.
I AM A DAMN INNOVATOR.
