Three Pennies of Garbage (Free verse) by babyBOOMER
November 5, 1999
~
Three Pennies of Garbage
~
To Those Who Have Read My Words
Often I Am Called a Poet
But That Is Truly Not So
Garbage Junk Clutter and Shit
~
True I May Have Journeyed Long and Far
I May Have Witnessed More than I Care to Have
All Inconveniences You See
Sort of like Inadequate Plumbing
~
I Bare My Soul
Show No Privatization
Write of Loneliness and Burden
To Me an Intense and Concentrated Effort
~
Sometimes Also Worthless Words
Written with Obscenities
Be it of Language or Visions
Which My Eyes Still Hold
~
I've Been Called Madman
Murderer
Killer If Children
And Collaborator of Death
~
Most Which I Am Sure Describe Me Somewhat
~
I Live in a Land of Memories
Sleep in Purple Sails
With Clouds of Smoke
And Dream of Occasional Remnants
~
I Am Fortunate Though
Being Surrounded by Love
My Illusions Are Beautiful
Certainly Worthy of Any Mans Heart
~
But Here I Go Again!
Strong Side-weak Side
Tenderly and Truly I Write
Sitting on My Backside
~
Here Again Is Three Pennies Worth of Garbage.
