Hear me read
the poem as
an MP3 file.
Watch me read
the poem as
an MP4 file.
Factor in each
falsehood, failure, phantom;
Reckon with each righteous, rash rebellion;
Implicate each ill-conceived intention;
Evoke each eloquent equivocation;
Number well each nugatory notion;
Deplore each driven, desperate deviation;
So you will see the need for having
friends.
