And the Poet Laughed

And the poet laughed
                       By Feo.

Poems are a drunks journal entries, the writer is a man of many hats, and only knows depraved verbs

He's of many trades, his hands are his tools, the poor soul writer says at least 

With a pinstripe vest that chains a broken watch, a faded piece 

His boots are classed accordingly, the uniform as well 

He goes about his ways, everyday, with writers thoughts

Living in recurring roles, his buttons are stitched like a grey threaded symbol of his ways

The writers hands bleed at night, and crust like eyes in the morning 

His hands always bleed, it's his trade

A trade on page 

A page with no space

Just gaps 

Like spaces in between grins

The poet laughs 

In the end, we all have to go home sometime.
