Arthur Vaso Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

Contemplation

When we are young 
Only dreams dance in our heads
Lover’s trysts 
Holding hands a bliss

Then comes the trifecta of darkness
The long hours job
The stack of bills on the table
The divorce lawyer taking what’s left

I ponder and contemplate
As I sit on my throne
How to did it come down to this
All this constipation
