death and maybes

luc simonic
i think i left my last poem without hope.
i just finished reading it & it seems i may
have left that impression.

i'll read it again.

i am a very prolific reader. i like reading
many things, but not as much as i like reading
myself. so that is the horsesh~t holding
this poem's seed.

& i stood up. i danced around in random
patterns like a comfortably stoned baffoon &
then forgot about it for a long long time.

scratch that.
i,
actually

heard jay leno go on in the background about
who we are & where we go to die. actually
i don't know what the f~ck he was saying...

he was saying something...
until his words became overshadowed by spirits;
a string of poems clouding my ability to
reason or see that it's something we can have.

why is that?!?

simply put it's because
a poem is like death; we won't understand it
until it has happened, maybe not even then.
