Second Person

I write poetry

I write it because I'm deep

I write it because I'm sad,

Deep down, I write it for everyone else

Not just only for myself

I'm a poet

I rhyme what means to be together

I speak through all the leather

I comment on the weather

I write poetry, it makes me better

(Than you!)

I write in second person

Because I'm talking to someone

And you don't know them

I have an agenda to complete

I need to be a mystery

Something you think needs undone

One dumb idea become a barrel of Nonsense

I need to be unknown

Yet still somehow opaque

Without any figuration or even

Alliteration

All added aloud and across

By my keyboard, by my keys

i type in lowercase

and it means i figured something out

it means i care about my lines

less, more about my stanza

Because this is a poem, after all!

And I'm a poet, after all!

I write poetry, it's short

I write, post it,

Never think about it once more!
