PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

when Checkpoint Charlie

doesn’t inspire you to write

but sitting bored

in a laundromat does—

well, there are clichés

and then there are clichés

and this is a cliché.

Brautigan may have 

been on to something

but I still think I prefer

my orange juice

sans brain droppings

thank you very much.
