PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I watched “Revenge of the Nerds”

on Encore

truly, my life,

no longer has meaning

How, oh how

could it ever have

gotten to this point?

Oh, did I say that out loud?

Oops, suppose I dropped the ball

on that one

How did I ever

get stuck in a rut like this?

I can’t think of the next line

No words come to mind

and I’m suddenly reminded

that I can write of jasmine incense

or jazz guitars singing softly

I did emerge about 20 minutes

I was on a beer run

at least that’s the official story

I hope you’ll forgive my aplomb

Oh, you mean ganja?

Yeah, I know what it smells like

I did follow the Grateful Dead

for a decade and a half
