Cj Krieger Poet Prose Poetry

He Writes Poetry

He writes poetry
Like Christopher Reeve’s 
Break-dancing 

Could you read this poem
He asks

And you would love to
If only between the spelling
And the handwriting
There was a way 
Of deciphering 
What it was that he wrote

But
There are those
Who think he’s the best thing
Since popcorn
… I’m not one

That’s not to say
I haven’t tried
To understand
What the hell he writes about
But my days as a cryptographer
Have long since gone

Still
I know a few people
That I visit 
From time to time
Who enjoy both his poetry
And thorazine  

I mean
After all
He writes poetry
