The Day I Realized I Had Turned Into Billy Collins

The Day I Realized I Had Turned Into Billy Collins

A Poem by John Sullivan

as


I


picked


at my


orange chicken


and remembered


Billy Collins


lamenting


his


old


man


at the Chinese restaurant


so


appropriately


reading 


Blindness


I realized


that


North America’s 


worst f*****g poet


and


I


had yet another thing


in common


ah


f**k
