For most poets
it's an obsession
a nagging one
a golden thread
through out their whole
sartorial collection of verse
we poets wear
our art
like suits some
fit better than others
and
some garments
well some
just need to be shot
like lame horses
I'm being tangential
and sorry
for the cruel morbid simile
but for my obsession
motels
the art deco flea circus variety
lately though
motel
and hotel art
it could be that
I'm in a really good place
for once in my life
that I can just
binge and gorge
on still lives of
cheap grocery store roses
and
whimsical pictures of prancing horses

I tried not to imitate his style and keep it true to my own. But I can't resist talking about my poetics and poetry.
