I could



I could write a poem that goes on and on and on
all about love and memories and things like that
I could write about flowers, music and art
about passion kisses and hate
about war and p.....
well you get my drift
so I will write about abstract
things like drains, over-head cam shafts
melted ice cream (not vanilla) and phillips screw drivers
or refections of lies and truths in sand castles
a scraping nail on a window and dirty feet
yes, filthy feet
six foot one inch and a shiny half crown
I could write a poem that goes on and on and on
but I won't

Very existential. Write it like it is. Reality oozing from your pen.

This is realism as poetic as it can be, you ask, and you get, in that inquiry, it turns out it is a very good way to find the great tune*

I wish you would . . . poems need to leave the usual behind sometimes and take us to where you have.
