The Poet
I'm still sitting
Waiting right here.
Waiting for what?
Ha. I haven't the slightest clue.
So I sit some more.
Write some more of this useless poetry
About how it feels like I left my live heart
Getting dusty under my bed.
Which is impossible.
Reason one? Feel my pulse.
Still thumping, right?
Reason two?
There is no 'under my bed'
When you sleep on a loft bed.
Just a desk.
And it seems I only write this
Useless, dramatic junk
To get me, the writer, writing
And to get you, the reader, reading.
Meanwhile I should be doing my homework.
It's one day overdue.
But when I get a flame on my last, wet match
I rush to get firewood
Before the wind blows it out.
So I'll have to say goodbye now
Because work is piling up
And I have to hurry up
Before the pile topples over onto me.
