I have read
more than one poem
By a poet
who has been published
I wondered
what was so enticing
What was so profound
in his work
Not getting it
is universal
Listening to some
incoherent ramblings
by those who
have been proclaimed great
Leaves one
wondering
I am going to
keep writing
But should
that road
lead to
obliterating reality
or hiding in the
rendition of muck
Then someone
whomever you might be
Please come and
take my stuff
Burn it
and then
take me
over your knee
