                                                              by Maureen Ucles

Reading what?

                                    Reading who?

Reading me?

                                                       Reading you?

Reading that?

You have got to be kidding!

Not me

Not now

No way baby!

No how!

Reading is transactional

Don't ya know?

What does that mean?

Some kinda disease?

Some kinda-what?

Pluuuuueaassee

Yup it's transactional

Fun to think and choose

Which way I go

From the Reader

To the Text

To the Poem

Ya know what I mean?

Nah!

Reading is pretextual

Kinda boring

Insane

Not me

Not now

Not ever

Transactional this!

Don't cha know?

 Keep it real

on the down low

'cause Reading

Is fundamentally sound

Full of spunk, bravado

and  you are bound

to make the transaction

sometime soon

Hey bro'!

Whatcha sayin'

The register is closed

No Benjamins to look at

only pennies to roll

Transaction this!

Transacation that!

What's it  all mean?

Is Alphie even round

the house?

Elevator is up

No one is home

lights are out

out to lunch

Reading is fundamental

Not transmittally

Whatcha sayin'

You must be trippin'

On the vine 

of life

Too many mushrooms

got you spacin' ---out

Know what I'm a sayin'?

Naaa!  Reading is Transactional

Just like this line

The register is open

Dead presidents are flying

out onto the hands of

opportunity 

An exchange of the

surreal
with a little bit

of overkill

Put on the banter

Keep merging my thoughts

with the text

the reader

and the poem
by me

myself and I

See I create it 

simulate it

put a grenade in it

blow it all up

in my thoughts with the text

me, myself and I
 the Reader 

Whatcha got?

Tons and tons

Tons of alot

Merged thinking

Words come to life

Cause reading is thinking

Reading is life

in a panoramic view

You feel me?

Understand where I am at?

It's no thing

No chicken wing

Just a transaction between

me, myself
and the text

Try it out!

You will see

It's a transactional thing!

Coming to a theatre

near you, me
and then the we!

Be transactional!

Peace!

We out!
