Poems
Jan 2019
My Kingdom...
I once ruled a small kingdom…
I was lord; and I was free.
But as I looked out over the land
From atop my royal throne
I saw no nobles, no knights,
No clergy, no servants…
I had, finally, risen to power,
But now everyone was gone –
Mysteriously vanished,
As the children of Hamelin.
So, there I was, alone;
And the silence haunted me…
.
Inspired by David Foster Wallace's 2005 commencement address at Kenyon College.
