PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’ve already tried

to seek answers

in all the great books

erstwhile banned in these parts

but somehow contraband copies

always seem to seep thru borders

Yet in spite my best intentions

I found the solutions proffered

to be somewhat lacking

in meaning and substance

Laying in bed

with jasmine incense burning

staring at the ceiling

yet I find myself

questioning my faith

and examining my life

not seeking solace

in Blake

or Nietzsche and Dostoevski

but just wallowing in July heat

expecting better

and getting this instead
