WHERE ARE ALL THE LITERARY GROUPIES ANYWAY?

 

 

So where are

all the literary groupies

anyway?

 

That’s the one

I’d really like

to know

Just where exactly

are they all hiding?

 

These, I think,

are ultimately,

the most important questions

 

I always look

but everywhere I go;

every reading

I show up to perform

I can’t ever

seem to find them

 

it gets so

I really wanna

just give up

and go home

and maybe,

just maybe

quit the whole game

 

I can’t write

for shit anymore

and the groupies

just don’t seem

to really exist anymore

 

I wonder if

this poetry gig

is worth

all the effort

 

It sure is

I keep telling

myself that

I continue to persist

in this damn delusion
