an american resolution for 2007

by marie gordon

I resolve….

To not eat kittens
To not drink beer
To not be an asshole

Because I’m a good person
I’m unique and special
And all that shit

I resolve to get better
To stop eating PB & crack
Sandwiches that make me quiver

I shall continue
To strive toward lesser-perfection
Reveling in a pliable personality

Because I’ve got a mantra:
I’m a good person
With clichés to back it up

If you think I aim low
Don’t judge my shoes
And I won’t steal your identity

My resolution is complete.
