PRAISE FROM CEASAR

 

 

He called the prose

as much a celebration

of the English language

as of the beer

 

it’s my hobby, my passion

quite possibly

the love of my life

as the sheer joy of writing

begins to emerge

 

and the liquid caramel elixir

melts like candy

against the roof of my mouth

 

and I open the blinds

to reveal the street lights

and the increasingly occasional

traffic swiftly crossing by

 

It’s mostly just opaque

as I can not see a tree

ten feet before me

and the waning inspiration

seeks alternative stimulation

 

a sloppily poured beer

sits atop the bureau

on a beer coaster from England

surrounded by ID,

money, keys, other documents

 

the art form ravaged

and left undermined

the self defeating nature

never subjugated

 

never subjugated

absolute authority denied

in third worlds apart

from modernized society

in iron beams and neon lights

honking catcalls at girls in skirts
