NO STINKIN AUTOGRAPHS!

May 31, 2022

NO STINKIN AUTOGRAPHS! by Teak Kilmer circa 1999 “Wow! That is powerful! I want a copy! May I have a copy?” “Sure.” “I’ll be right back. I’ll just go make a copy” Pacing while I wait for Faruk Abuzzahab, MD, PhD to return to his, my psychiatrist’s office. He returns, flips the poem around, places it on his desk that is on the pile of books and papers nearest to me on his desk and says, “Sign it for me, please.” I do, and I soon leave after I’ve told him there’s another one I just wrote, similar topic, more humorous. “Be sure you bring it next time.” “Yah, I’m intending to publish” I say.

Teak: My name is Teak Kilmer, well really, it's Thalas Garadus Groospeck Macelious Quackenbush Michael Meiers Kilmer Jr. (and that's the reason I’m an alcoholic). Truth be told, these are more names than are on my birth certificate, but I grew up believing these were all my names (a joke my family played on me). I really am an addict and have emotion sickness from trauma and genetics. My life has been a wild but challenging ride. I have accomplished much, met nearly 50 famous people, and have a plethora of amazing stories. I'm also an observer of life, a poet, writer, copy editor, amateur 'spiritual' etymologist, fine furniture artist, former and co-founder of the Minnesota Woodworkers' Guild (now second largest in the nation), reformer of the American massage equipment industry from basically nearly junk quality to having maybe the best equipment anywhere. At age 15, in 1956, I successfully began a civil rights movement in my high school fraternity. In 1957, I formed and directed the Dacey Family Charity to replace my fraternity brother's home that burned down and was not insured. This intro is continued on my blog titled: An Intro -Teak the Poet Tree.
