MAYBE YOU WERE EXPECTING POETRY

 

 

Maybe you were

expecting poetry?

 

Well, I can’t

make any promises

won’t make any

gonna shoot from

the hip

try to throw out

a few jewels

 

but I ain’t

gonna compromise

ain’t gonna pretend

and not be

what I not be

 

my favorite word

is serendipity

but I can’t

find any

no matter where I look

 

so I go on

without a pretense

and a delusion

 

and it doesn’t mean

a fucking thing

if I can’t get it down

and make you understand

exactly what I mean
