Paper Mountain

Thighs so brown and thick Ebony eyes that have depth I’m that weird poet chick Who eats alone writing poems I know I look self absorbed My papers are my best friends And my pen rights my sins I’m so proud of my loud thoughts That I jot them down like Plato or Aesop didn’t beat me I figure perhaps someone will drink From the same poetic fountain Maybe find some solace In my paper mountain The reality is that I am free To be myself single rather boring But at peace with my poetry

OK, 'weird poet chick.' Stay social (and I don't mean on social media), and you'll find your heart's desire. I'm sure of it! ('Cos it sure ain't a mountain of paper!) ~ gw
