The Poet That Never Sleeps
Folder:
A Traveler's Experience it's a race between her pages penned
and my cups of coffee
she's winning now,
i try to keep up -
captivated
is caffeine, in itself
but captivation,
and bottomless cups
are not enough
though i started off well ahead
bred, once a trainee
of the city, of brooklyn
sipping till near sun up
talking with a friend
i have to sleep, a little bit, though
also other treasures,
cherishable,
and matters to attend
you could say she writes in her sleep,
meanwhile
she writes anywhere she is,
on anything
with anything at hand
scraping rocks into the branch of a tree
dangling a hundred feet up in the air
she likes to go where no one's been
i would have gone with her if i had the strength
and though I'd like to cheat
to make up ground,
bring out my chainsaw in the morning
and cut the distance down,
i'll climb to new heights tomorrow
after a little rest
though i'll never quite reach up to where she is
still, it's good enough, to me,
that the morning coffee
tastes like her words
i need a little space and time to fully savor
the deeper meaning,
that's how i'm built
that's what i've found
so in a race between her pages penned
and my cups of coffee
she's winning now,
on bottomless coffee i give up,
on captivation, not
it's where you'll find me staring at tampered bark
Right out of the gate I was
Right out of the gate I was swept up in your breathless rivalry with this prolific, poetic fireball who can channel the Muse while "scraping rocks into the branch of a tree/ dangling a hundred feet up in the air".
With a fusion of sharp wit, clarity and self-discovery, you arrive at a state of pure admiration for this whirling dervish of words and the pleasure, the appreciation, of real talent:
". . . it's good enough, to me,
that the morning coffee
tastes like her words
i need a little space and time to fully savor
the deeper meaning,
that's how i'm built
that's what i've found"
Cleverly spun and a joy to experience.
Something special
It's easy to recognize how extremely elevated, eloquent, intelligent etc your writing style is. You are so clear and self-aware; it shows like gemstones in your dope diamond flow.
bananas are the perfect food

Thank you kindly, for what
Thank you kindly, for what feels like such an truly generous remark. This one has become one of my favorites to have written right from the instant of creation, so I am especially grateful that it has been so well received by someone such as yourself.
