Poetry from Ari Nystrom-Rice

Sincerely Signature

My Signature hides in my skin

in places it could not see

when I didn’t want to

but hah!

I could feel them dripping inky blue luminescent stuff

My Signature does everything but lie flat

so now it is the flapping label

on my stomach

announcing bitterly that it was me

to which I wonder if

anyone is surprised

and if they want anything different from me.

And when they read my signature 

does it flip their switches

or pump magic ooze

How do I figure out

what my signature is for

And who’s going to tell me

what my signature is?
