Whence I Became a Poet

When did writing poetry become such a foul ball in my life?
When my surroundings and the people in it decided I couldn't
get rich writing it.
So, I put it away for a while and concluded that I had writer's block.
Plus, I didn't write much when I was homeless in Cali.
Because all my pens got stolen and my paper went to the wayside.
Or inside of me like a dog eats your school paper. Peace is
Continually Available.
