Poetry is the cover
through which
you do not let life get you
They have lied
these poets
drunks, lotharios, scholars
and you mesh their words
as your own
aspire to be higher
or lower
I know who you are
~ ~ ~
It's the same part
that's the trouble
and who was I to think it would be different
this script
all written down
never looked at
change the words
details
same same same
~ ~ ~
