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.
