I went cheap, spent no time,
on this rhyme,
no designer phrases,
left so many blank spaces,
that you have had your fill
of my empty verse,
your report will be terse,
this poem is dead
where is that hearse?
I do not have the real thing, diamond cut prose
or pristine crystalline rhyme, I forgo grammar,
some think I jabber and jammer when I speak,
no crown jewel here, I use no tool so poorly as the
tongue I was born with.
But I do so freely,
I don't shed blood or take life,
I try not to lie, truth be told (most of the time)
I do have an edge, with cutting wit (okay I am lying)
Life has turned for the worse, a bit
I want to put all things I value in a back pack,
Walk away from the talk I say,
Into the woods to hear that if a tree falls
in the forest and nobody is there
does it make a sound.
I'll let you know,
Hello my name is nobody.
no first name
no middle initial
Nobody.
So if they ask,
So if you, continue to read just
tell them that Nobody sent you
to find me.
