The Poet

A scarlet scar on the left knee
Hair on my head I cut into chops myself
I dash out from under my weighted blanket of warmth 
I am allowed one cup of coffee and one cup of tea
A weak stomach from an ulcer doesn’t keep me from writing. 
Will a poet walk into my life? Will I ever have that partner?
