FUCKIN' POETS



You can feel,
A million hands on you at once,
Squirm,
Sense being touched by them all.

Your eyes are hurt,
Everywhere,
By the whole,
Of it.

Poet.

You have a skin,
Covering you,
Only so you can cover it,
In those scars,
And it's as thin,
As,
A contraceptive membrane.

You have eyes,
Window-pained,
Seeing out as if through glass bricks,
In a bathroom steamed up,
In the showers,
You take,
Hot and cold.

You are barely...

Or not at all,
You kill with looks,
And died each day,
Suicide,
In heart failures.

Poet,
You've been so short,
In the distance,
And seen,
So far ahead of yourself,
To understand the doom before the threat,
That might lead to it.

And you don't know,
You really don't know,
Where.
Or how.
So missing these from the recipe,
The why,
Is overcooked,
Other ingredients still,
Overlooked.

Poet,
If what you say is true,
That only,
What you say is true,
Was true,
You're a poor poor soul,
Impoverished soul,
That is.

You're a butterfly,
Caught in the chaos,
Of your own storms.

Poor soul,
You really do,
Want the cake too,
To have it,
Not to eat it,
Just so you can tell them...

Tell them, yes,
Tell them all about...
The hunger.
Or about how beautiful the cake is.
Or the anticipation,
Of eating eating it.
If only you could.
Or tell them about,
The last bad dining experience,
You had,
Or,
Whatever because cakes... pfft.

Poor-soul that you are,
'cause its a cake-walk,
For the rest,
While you're off wandering,
Unfed through forests of the trees,
For you to read,
Into,
Between lines,
Trying to find,
The real reason,
While your stomach,
Stays empty.

You,
Poor,
Poor,
Soul.



You fuckin' poet.
