WHY I ALWAYS HATED BEING A POET

 

 

Seems I always

hit pay dirt

late at night

when what

I really need

is sleep

 

It don’t pop up

at 6:00 PM

or 9:00 PM

 

It always

waits until

some stupid time

like 1:14 AM

when you try

to catch some Z’s

 

then it won’t

turn off

when the mind

is too far gone

to keep focused

 

that’s why I

always hated

being a poet
