I'd take something seriously
'cept I know better
since I learned
to make stuff up
so I'd be taken
seriously

almost everything
I was taught to believe
someone made up
so they'd be taken
seriously

and now we're stuck
with their creative
inventions
and a stupidly
serious nature
we all hate

Blah!
Bluh blah blah
Gotta Yada

I think these are things
and they are not

These hands
passed from my father
now dead
passed from my mother
now dead
passed to my daughters
both living

like a woman's ***

my poets
sing

I am almost
and I need
to overcome

I am near enough
that this ends
and begins

I am gone by
and none need
this ending

I am thought of
in some past
forgotten

And then these
syllables
containt

I thought I wrote
good poems tonight
and then I read the top ones
f me
