What Poetry Has Done To Me
Here I sit
In my basement
In my skivvies
Late at night
Ignoring all my
Family duties
Contemplating
What next to write
All I am now
Is skin and bones
No time lately
For a bite
Can't think of when
I last shaved or bathed
Perhaps 2009?
Poetry
While fun for me
Has hung me
Out to dry
Since skinny dipping
In this soup
In the prime
Of my life
Could someone
On the outside
Tell me is it day
Or is it night
And have they dropped
The big one yet
I need a new subject
On which to write
