Thirty plus years as a
university professor
preaching about the perils
of plagiarism, then tonight
read a poem in an online ‘zine
that stole lines directly from me.
Move over Hemingway,
move over Bukowski,
move over Céline,
you ain’t the only ones
with words worth stealing.
I’m giddy with excitement,
I’m drunk on joy (well, Corona too),
I feel like I’ve finally arrived ...
I’ve been plagiarized!
