Restless Poems
I thought I should let you know
that it might seem like things are moving slow
but the truth is that
I don’t pull poems out of my hat
because they actually
come and go
as they please
and it might seem like a tease
but I accepted their behavior a long time ago
because when you
feel blue
and give poems a role
they’ll eventually jump out of the rabbit hole
and hop away
even when you ask them to stay
but there will be a day
when they’ll know when I feel mellow
and drop by to say hello
But I must confess
that even personal poems grow restless
so they'll leave
but there is no need to grieve
because some of those poems
will return
while others will crash and burn
like paper planes
in warring flames.
