POURQUOI MOI

E. D. Lloyd-Kimbrel

              après Ron Padgett

                        pace Gertrude Stein


Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

Why me?

         Why not me?

         Why not me.



“Pourquoi Moi” is a slightly satiric verse with referential whimsy (in a nod to Ron Padgett’s poem “Nothing in That Drawer” and to the inimitable Ms. Stein), that is also resolute.



E. D. LLOYD-KIMBREL (whose car masquerades as a branch library) has published biographical, critical, and scholarly essays, creative nonfiction, and poetry, including a chapbook, Matrimonies (Finishing Line Press, 2023.)
