Subject: potions

I need a new phoney name,
one that will convey
my superiority.
Perhaps something with
a * and a )
or maybe the two in conjunction
like this:
blah*),
or some other arrangement
using bizarre keys
off a keyboard made
of neon lizard tongues.
Something that says
"Hey, I'm published
under a million phoney names
in a million mediocre publications"
without me having
to come right out and say it.
Something that says,
"I was Ernest Hemmingway's typist.
I can marble your lungs with silence
and even finish your sentences for you."
(Enerst Hemmingway's)
(Ernest Hemmingway's typist.*)
Some kind of hieroglyphic
that will let you know
what is to follow,
with lots of hidden
"whence"s
and "whilst thou"s
and other old words
from a time when people were
smaller,
when they drank special
potions
to come up with clever names
and words that end
with "-eth".
Something that can make
me smile in the mirror
and laugh when
I'm not supposed to.
