Mrs. Moskowitz says
“You’re not a Christian …yet”

Well, I’ll add it to the list:

I haven’t resigned myself to old age yet
and I haven’t bought that Corvette yet
or had my midlife crisis yet

and I haven’t acquired a taste
for the bullshit of the world yet

I can’t have intercourse for more
than 20 minutes yet
and my penis isn’t 12 inches long yet

I’m also not a 36 inch waist yet
and I’m not eligible to retire yet

I haven’t composed that Top Ten hit yet
or finished writing that second book yet

I haven’t stopped thinking in lists yet
and my therapist hasn’t retired yet

and I haven’t fallen off the wagon yet
and I haven’t forgotten any of the slights
I’ve suffered yet

and I haven’t forgiven my enemies yet
but I haven’t been arrested yet either

and I haven’t had
that heart attack I keep waiting for yet
which reminds me that
I haven’t started that exercise program yet

and my website isn’t finished yet
and I won’t surrender yet
and I haven’t stopped looking for approval yet

and I haven’t forsaken
the Three Stooges yet
and I haven’t shaken my craving
for banana cream pie yet

and I haven’t had my dessert yet
and today I haven’t gotten a blowjob yet
or said any prayers yet

and I haven’t stopped wanting more yet
and I haven’t been promised a tomorrow yet

and we haven’t said
any unforgivable words yet
and we haven’t made love in a soft September rain yet
and we haven’t gone apple picking
at Oak Glen yet
and I’m not tired of those noisy faces yet

and I haven’t figured out how I would ever get along without you yet

and I’m not ready to turn out the light yet
I don’t want to go to bed yet

no, I didn’t wrap up everything I started yet

and I’m not satisfied with this poem yet

but it’ll have to do
for now.
