Poetry: Selections from Taylor Dibbert

Playbook

 

A key aspect

Of the

Gaslighter's playbook

Is trying

To convince people

That they are

The victim,

Don't fall for it.

A Fantastic Business Deal

 

He’s having 

A chat with

A friend

During his 

Lunch break

And realizes

That he’s never

Found a way

To monetize

His sarcasm,

He tells his friend

That he’ll

Giver her

Half the profits

If she figures

That out.

Taylor Dibbert is a writer, journalist, and poet. He's author of the Peace Corps memoir Fiesta of Sunset, and the forthcoming poetry collection Home Again.
