What a bunch of bullshit
it all is
this art
this writing
this poetry…
If you really look
If you pay attention
It’s all been said and done
before
by myself or others…
Beauty is a fleeting illusion
and ugliness can be beautiful.
The world is seen and heard
by everyone,
echoed a billion different ways-
it’s pointless
all of it-
what a load of crap
a useless waste of paper and trees
a bunch of
clever and amusing wordplay.
Poetry;
arranging
consonants vowels
nouns verbs adjectives
at your leisure
on a whim
for your convenience
or boredom
or insanity…
just wordplay, I say,
nothing more,
but somehow
in the end
it seems
it could be more
than we expected…
