Whitman Escapes Me
i wish i could write a poem utilizing symbolism
it escapes me
it escapes me amidst the din
it escapes me amidst the clamor
it escapes me against racing bipolar mind
racing thoughts of self esteem
of crushing sense of sensibility
of world feeling crushed
i wish i could write all these things
i wish i could write like lorca
lorca escapes me
whitman escapes me
neruda escapes me
all i have left is me.
