PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

well, I figure

I’m only 29

0o figure I can get married;

have kids; raise them

and be divorced

before the age of 60

then at 60

I’ll be a famous poet

and I’ll be single;

able to enjoy

all the college co-eds

I have it all planned out

I’m gonna have my cake

and eat it too

I’ll do the family shit now

and when I’m 60, bald and famous

I’ll get the babes

I’ve been accused

of being too cerebral

always staying calm

so now I’m thinking with my dick

This is what you get now

I’m thinking with my dick

from this point on

It’ll be a lot easier

to not have to be the good guy

or politically correct

thinking with my dick

is a good way

to get thru endlessly

tattered lines of reason

and make some sense

out of this confusion

and mass contradiction
