Searching for a Subtitle

is like trying
to tie a net
around the air
everywhere.

I’ll call this one:
‘The life 
I live.’

It is April first,
after all,
and everyone,
even my first
attempt at a book
fooled me.

I will soon by trying
to sell these 
intentionally
placed words 
about the silly bits,
and recordable bloopers
of my life.

I might as well try
to sell sunglasses
to a blind man
whom is also
selling a book
ten times better.

I hope I don’t 
bump into him
when I forget
to look up, 
look out, 
and all around me.
