Poems
Jan 2020
Post Structuralist Peeping
All romantic poets are voyeurs
These scribblings reveal us
Watching ourselves
Obsessively and incessantly
We are in fact
Double voyeurs
Constantly describing
Our primary occupation
Writing about
Watching ourselves
Watch our elusive emotions
Flit by like drunken mosquitoes
Maybe this makes us
Triple voyeurs
Forever spying on ourselves
Preparing to write
Such horrid but sweet
And oh so public perversions
Placing me here metaphorically and
Postprandially exposed before you
Can or must this shame be borne alone?
But soft -dear listeners
If I am a multiple ******
What does that make you?
