Autobiography – Michael Dumanis


Attempted avoiding abysses, assorted

abrasions and apertures, abscesses.


At adolescence, acted absurd: acid,

amphetamines. Amorously aching


after an arguably arbitrary Abigail,

authored an awful aubade.


Am always arabesquing after Abigails.

Am always afraid: an affliction?


Animals augur an avalanche. Animals

apprehend abattoirs. Am, as an animal,


anxious. Appendages always aflutter,

am an amazing accident: alive.


Attired as an apprentice aerialist,

addressed acrophobic audiences.


Aspiring, as an adult, after applause,

attracted an angelic acolyte.


After an affirming affair, an abortion.

After an asinine affair, Avowed Agnostic


approached, alone, an abbey’s altarpiece,

asking Alleged Almighty about afterlife.


Ambled, adagio, around an arena.

Admired an ancient aqueduct. Ate aspic.


Adored and ate assorted animals.

Ascended an alp. Affected an accent.


Acquired an accountant, an abacus, assets.

Attempted atonal arpeggios.
