Poem of Self 06/30/2006

One of the reasons I’m able to write poetry
is because it is not very sacred to me
and I am a man filled with apathy
as well as nihilism, misanthropy and regret.

I write on a word processor because to take my
words further I can’t be bound by pencil or pen.
I am not an artist of any kind.
Just a guy at the end of his wit throughout Baltimore.

Of course I’m not from Baltimore.  I’m from an other
place altogether.  But that life is over now.
I will not bore you with forgotten dreams.
Just happy to have your ear as you let me do my thing.
