Unless it Is This

Let's be honest with each other
there is nothing more useless
than a poem
unless it is this;
an unfinished one.

A poem that gets hijacked by a passing thought
and goes riding god know where
With all the sensible groceries you just bought
in the back seat.

Let's face it, you can write
an ode to a monkey, but don't
expect him to read it.

What use does an oaf have for a poem?
It's comical to think about it.

perhaps you should write it on a banana
and then give it to him.

sigh, sigh, there is nothing more useless
than folk art dipped in ink on paper,
unless it is this.
