Poet & Prostitute#1 ~ “Poet” was a big mistake

~Afterthought~

“Poet” was a big mistake

 

we

should have been called

prostitutes

or

poetitudes

 

willing to sell ourselves

to any passing muse overhead,

 

for a scrap of script,

a few lines of verse,

a mere bonanza of a stanza

shoot, hoot, a catchy line sufficiently fine,

at 1:33am

beggars can ill afford to be

“choosy”

 

to satisfy our accursed addiction to

the highs the lows of

addictive endless

selfish selfie ****** examination
