"This One Weird Trick" by Andrew Novak
Hey
There’s this one weird trick
doctors don’t want you to know
to cure anxiety
depression
your crippling debt
your wasted life—
Come here, friend
I’ll whisper
this one weird trick
into your ear
"Self-Portrait" by Andrew Novak
So I made this self-portrait
Trillions of atoms
carefully
arranged
into the
shape
of
nothing
Funny thing
I swear
It looks a lot like you too
"Borges on Avenida Las Flores (The Burger Man)" by Andrew Novak
It’s a known fact
that
Jorge Luis Borges loved
Burger King
so much
that
he wrote
most
of
his poems
on Avenida Las Flores
inside
Buenos Aires’s very first
Burger King
He ate so much
Burger King
so much
that other writers
his friends
called him
“The Burger Man”
Until one day
they
cut the shit—
started
calling
him
“Burger King”
“You—
you are the
Burger King”
they would say
and
laugh
“Fuck you”
Borges would whisper
holding
a
Whopper,
dabbing at the corner of his mouth
with
a
poem
“Fuck you”
