my clothes are not torn out,
so what?
i can still write a poem
hunger isn't killing me,

g what?
i will still write a poem.
i am 'poles apart' a condition
like the  Pink Floyd's  "Division Bell".
but i am still writing my poem.

friends, strangers or everybody.
anybody? but nobody might read them,
and I still write the poem.

No substance

someone yells 'dilettante' accusingly
i wake up in cold sweat
screaming  'now see here im no phony!'
to imaginary rat creeping
now through my door
