Poem #52

Poem 52

Post-it notes and chicken scratches

Browsing through the internet

Seeing patterns of words and colors

Looking for a deeper meaning

But in the end it’s all nonsense

Having conversations with others

While giving unwanted two cents

Trying to listen, remembering to shut up

They are the focus and not me

Now I write poems at 0 – 3

Turning nonsense into rhyme

I miss old company but they are bad

A worse version of me – they’d probably be laughing if they read this:

Hahaha!

A laugh elevates the heart

But when it’s over sorrow returns

And a smile and grin die

A rapper and an accidental overdose

Tragic and awful but nothing new

Celebrities are depressed and blue

But look at us and look at you

We’re no different

Humans, we are, all of the same kind

Reading nonsense and poems

Looking for the meaning and purpose

But truly I tell, sometimes there is none

And that is okay

That is ok

Hang it up and post it

But don’t scratch it
