Egotistical Poem
10/2009 Joshua Abelow

I stuffed five
large black bags with
horrible drawings
yesterday afternoon
when I was
cleaning out
my storage
locker.

And that's nothing!

I've filled up
many a dumpster
with all sorts of
horrible crap that
I've made with
my own
two hands.

When you think
of all the
hours
and all the
effort
and all the
money
spent
on making
garbage
one could easily
get discouraged.

I, however,
feel like
a million bucks
because
everything I
make now is
FUCKING AMAZING
and there's
always been
some gems
here and there
along the road
anyway.
