For those who studied the great Poet from New Jersey, William Carlos Williams, and shared in his quest to write about subject matter that concentrated on everyday circumstances of life, and being passionate about the life and lives of everyday people, I share this one. Enjoy poetry by reading aloud!
Today Like every day I wake Roll over Notice my My wife has left earlier than Me for work
For a moment I sleep on her side Smelling her scent On the pillow I shower Brush my teeth Look in the mirror
In my Closet I start Staring at My shirts My pants I try to Decide on a color
I sit on the bed to put on my Socks I have placed a photo Of my father Down by my end table Under a book That shows us Being happy
I dress Make my Way downstairs Open the front Door and Drink coffee
I walk To the train wait at the end By myself It's cold today I cover my head Dream that I could be Somewhere else But on this train line
It seems disturbing To see tree limbs Swamp land Graffiti on concrete Walls downed Power lines And Common Reeds Persist
I see shadows I feel my soul I know I'm late Again
no one cares I figure I will go on Working In solitude And constant dredging tired Of viewing this Toxic land And grotesque Water Where There is no ability To grow Or feel how normal This is
