The Position of Research Assistant is (Badly) Filled

Thank you to all who expressed interest in the position of Research Assistant, which I never actually posted. I’m afraid the position has been filled for some time. Not that my assistant has ever provided much assistance: she thinks she’s helping, and that’s what counts.

The Assisstant

Due to a fair bit of insomnia and a cat using me as a mattress, I’ve finished Numbers’s gargantuan book. I supposed keeping me pinned down with no choice but to read or go slowly mad from inactivity is assisting. I’d fire her, but I value my life. You can try to remove her from her position, but I warn you: she’s quick with the teeth for an old fart.

    FOREVER

    I could lie by your side for the rest of our lives
    I think I’ll walk away right now

    I could let you pet me for a hundred years
    I think we need some time apart

    I could be kissed a thousand thousand times
    I think I’m needed somewhere else

    I could sit on your lap forever
    I said I could sit on your lap FOREVER
    Don’t you even think of trying to get up
    Well, you should have gone to the bathroom beforehand
    Because forever is a very, very long time

    My 18 year old furball still has all of her teeth. She still has all of her fur, despite leaving large clumps in the most awkward to vacuum places.

    Francesco Marciuliano’s I Could Pee on This is an excellent collection of poems. Here’s the title poem:

    Her new sweater doesn’t smell of me
    I could pee on that
    She’s gone out for the day and
    Left her laptop on the counter
    I could pee on that
    Her new boyfriend just pushed my head away
    I could pee on him
    She’s ignoring me ignoring her
    I could pee everywhere
    She’s making up for it
    By putting me in her lap
    I could pee on this
    I could pee on this
