I Want a Curriculum Vitae of Nothingness // Rob Plath

the cataloguing of my poems & portions
of incomplete poems
the possessing of invoices of my voices

the tallying of my publications
& forthcoming publications

the clinging to lists of my chapbooks

the italicizing, quotation marking
& the underlining of titles
the inking of dates & times
all of the details like a tedious deed

& the penciling of potential places to submit
& possible presses & impossible presses

all of this heavy ledger work
all this inventory taking
like a stack of bureaucratic forms
like the of balancing bank accounts
like the tax man's tasks
like a long grocery list but no meat
for the rumbling gut
everything i spit in the face of

i want an anonymous notebook
i want unworded & unlined pages
i want numberless & unmargined pages
i want a curriculum vitae of nothingness
