A Brief Existentialist Discourse On A Nonexistent Volume Of Unpublished Poems

   - for Richard Brautigan

I would like
to self-publish
a book
of poems
for my friends.

You know
who you are.

If you aren't
my friend,
you won't get
a book.

That is the
simplest explanation
of existentialism
that I know.
