Alex Nelson Poet Free verse

By the Time I'M Somebody

By the time I'm somebody 

I'll be picking out a stone

I'm headed in a dash 

To forgetful(or alone)


I’ll be better parted

If I took the time to see 

The chisel and the hammer 

Wanted a picture(not of me)


I'll wait with no excuses

If the taker wants a loan 

It's under and I'm over  

(With no data on my phone)


I'll see the ordinary

Yet the claim is simply put 

The plot, the page and rescues

Were a screenplay(with a But?) 


I will ease into an easy 

Yet a lay me down’s to sleep

So ask no quest to somewhere

(You'll find my plot too deep)
