MY BIO FOR PATHETIC ANTHOLOGY

by Scott Utley






I am a reclusive, private, and some-what odd middle-aging guy living in the most

densely populated part of LA. Single, 5.11-180, Br-Gr, Good-looking. I enjoy strolling

the moon-lit beach, walking in the rain, etc., and I will consider any offer for companionship

no-matter how shallow or nefarious your intentions may be. I accept that the less depth

and the most ill-will you can muster is all I can possibly hope for.

I raise a perpetually flowering garden as well as several dogs and my familiar,

(as in Hamlet) named Blackie the Cat. I have a pedigree in fine arts. I mope a lot.

I whine. I am obnoxious. I write because it keeps me from acting out. I'm basically a

juvenile delinquent who never, or ever, will grow up. On the other hand, I am a

fine, funny and passionate compassionate soul with great insight into the language

of pain and joy. I am very humble at times, but usually I'm conceited and arrogant.

I tell everybody my IQ is 183, but it's really only 162, as if that even mattered.

So I guess I lie too ... I prefer, 'embellishing the truth'. I am a boastful and

cocky guy who says he doesn't care but I may be insecure instead. In conclusion,

I am trouble and your mother and father would be very concerned if you brought me to dinner

... unless they are psychiatrists. It's possible their curiosity about mental health might trump their fear.

Is this for Jodi's thingy? [I've GOT to get busy on that.]I LOVE this. I knew I liked you for some reason. I can relate to you, even if I don't understand the why's in parts of this.I adore your conclusion and would definitely want to bring you to dinner just to stir up trouble. I've always been a rebel that way. Ever read "The Road Less Travelled"? I bet you would enjoy it.

Excellent poem Scott. This nicely confirms to anyways that the whole world is crazy.

Sorry, that last comment should have read to "me" anyways.

Clever and funny in that way only know-thy- self-wisdom can be. But little of it is done as well as this, Scott

My parents are psychotic--you may be the child they always wanted but failed to produce...

Ah, at last the details behind the fine words offered up to us pathetic readers. Our cat is also named Black Cat - in Japanese - Neko Kuro. Perhaps they will meet and exchange poetics. ;)
