Hyperbolic Quasi Autobiographical Prevarication

Hyperbolic quasi autobiographical prevarication...
caricature sketch of person best known to yours truly

What began as an honest 
to goodness attempt 
to craft personal truthful profile
evolved into a fictional poem
manifested into the following.

Despite the onslaught of paparazzi,
I (an eccentric kindhearted sexagenarian -
born January xiii, mcmlix
at The Christ Hospital
within Mount Auburn, Ohio)
instantaneously shied, blinked away
from the spot (klieg)

Unsolved criminal mystery...modest prevarication

Prevarication Invites Animadversion Plus Aggravation

After beguiling charisma,
damnable excoriations fixedly,
gamely, horribly, insult jesting,

Prevarication 

There is this wall outside not a big wall
but it needs to be painted, promised to 
coat it twice when it got cooler

perhaps June
    anyways we'll see
later
whenever-

I guess

Prevarication

PREVARICATION

 why now? said I, with sunrise in bloom,
 can it not wait for silvery moon?

 what if I tell her my knee has once more,
 locked-up with swelling, can't get to the door!

 viburnum you lovingly bought at the market,
 must wait one more day, alone on the carpet!

 the shingles I promised I'd
