Let's play pretend
My favorite name today
is Zygmunt S. Derewenda.
My mouth feels funny
around it
almost insists
on an accent
a different shape
for a different tetris of
letters
and with that accent
my mind runs unbidden to
a job, a hobby, a three legged cat,
a favorite bookstore and a proclivity for bow-ties
and I cannot stem the tide
I'm paid to do this
every day
so let's play
pretend
