How to Big Yourself Up

Be the bloviating blogger who blogs on, dusk till red dawn;

be the sixth billionth sand grain to encroach on beachfront lawn;

be the crazy whitefella razzin on the didgeridoo;

be geek-orthodox totty in phat pants, goin the whole hog barbecue;

be a pre-teen human-gene kung fu kangaroo;

be marijuana mujahadeen dancing to Arabian drums;

be the only happy-clappy one stopping to twiddle your thumbs;

be a coalition of contradictions helping out populations with their financial complications;

be a turntablist spinning full-bore in a sweat-lodge tepee;

be a blitz chess champion obsessed by slow-moving reality tv;

be the lonesome spoiler shouting from a rooftop rendezvous for secret lovers;

be a pop-eyed phobic loon placing ransom notes between bestseller covers;

be an über-baby-boomer wearing poppety socks which tick-tock with sky-blue clocks;

be a Butoh mime brewing rivers of yak-butter tea that trickle down the Everest of humanity;

be a soul sister disco diva disciplining disciples with visions of the Ecstasy Tablets of Saint Teresa;

be the line dancer who does a soft shoe shuffle at the CAT scan, leaping from hospice wheelchair;

be there when a bimbo eruption erupts because Bollywood’s come to town, offering all of us a part;

be a Portuguese man o’ war made of salty tears, but still shooting for the moon from desolate deserts of the heart;

do not mean but be forever: big yourself up.
