I have read more than one poem By a poet who has been published I wonder what was so enticing What was so profound in the work? Not getting it is universal Listening to some incoherent ramblings from Those that have been proclaimed great Leaves you wondering I am going to keep writing But should that road lead to Obliterating reality or Hiding in the rendition of muck Then someone, whoever you might be, Please come and take my stuff Burn it, and then Take me over your knee Stanski February 24, 2020^
