The Best Words*

By Amber Lee Carnahan

You know, it really doesn’t matter
what the media write
as long as you have a young,
and beautiful, piece of –

As everyone knows,
but the haters and losers
refuse to acknowledge, my hair
may not be perfect,
but it’s mine – My fingers
are long and beautiful, as are various parts
of my body. The beauty of me
is that I’m very rich – it’s tangible,
it’s solid, it’s beautiful, it’s artistic,
and, from my standpoint, I just love
real estate.

My friends say,
I have the best words –
Whenever I’m making
a creative choice, I step back
and remember
my first shallow reaction. The day
I realized
it can be smart to be shallow
was, for me, a deep experience.

Good people
don’t go into government –
Sometimes by losing a battle
you find a new way
to win the war.
