What was I thinking...
I don't even want to try, to write, to rhyme,
yet here I am, transcribing my uselessness
again
All those discarded words
lying like corpses inside these notebooks
death in Microsoft Word folders labeled Dirt
cyber graves I keep digging up
what was I thinking?
I want to run my sharp nails over these pages
snap them in two, hear the crack of my wood guitar
that trys to make love with them, and fails
but they are invisible like their master
I am nothing. Not smart, determined, talented, or headed somewhere...
What was I thinking?
To believe in myself?
These are faulty letters on a matrix of unreality
and I still return, my widescreen church,
plastic pew bending with the weight of my stupid prayers...
Flat cubicle chuch
for a thousand dollars
Church in a white box
Free calculator
oh pixeled God...
Julie, this is a beautiful poem.. full of
interesting metaphors..
yes you suck... like a hummingbird.. in the flowers
of life.. keep on sucking
