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
