I Draw in the Last Corner
Poem 21 from my chapbook "As Glamorous as a Kidney"
Another day rolls into night.
{
Another night will tumble
Over into morning.
{
Morning will be another
Day to live through.
{
For now
The moment is
The moment.
..
I witnessed a poem fail
And I crumbled it up
Just a few minutes ago.
{
I did keep the opening lines
Because they are true.
{
Another day...
{
Another night
{
Morning...
{
For now
You see I’m starting up
Again.
{
Looking to move on to
The end.
{
My next piece will be a
Cut up of this book and I
Look forward to doing that.
{
I must get past this composition
First.
I don’t find that to be easy
Considering much has happened.
{
Little bro is out and absorbing
What is now in his constellation.
I still feel my father is worth
Less than urine.
His father is still perishing
Slowly.
My mother’s mother has been
Admitted to the hospital.
An’ I’m still making sense of
It all with a flowing mind and
A blueprint to eventually turn
Into structure
{
That is to say the structure
Will last
}

One of the Crazy Things Rich People Do That's Scary To Think About
They impress us, and sometimes they scare us, but the ultra-rich are always interesting. Some of their famous activities include buying yachts too big to move through channels, buying ridiculously priced cars that could feed the homeless of New York for weeks, and their expensive tastes in sex workers.
