Most poets are assholes
Compete in a small
box of well-wishers
who complement each other
until their ass bleeds crimson red.
Of course, I am guilty of
the crime I whine about…
Played the jerk in a drunken rage.
While well-meaning host, whose
only crime was that I tried to
play the filthy Bukowski bit.
I’m sorry to all those I
pushed down, yelled at,
complained about and ignored.
Old age, piss too much in
the middle of the night.
Has led me to be a bit more reflective
But --I’m going down and I
know it…
So, to all you young
pretentious, wannabe rebels
in bard territory…
Write the word to
the best of your ability.
Let it stand…read
and walk away with
hands in pockets
Adjust the ballcap, say
thank you and move
on.
Rebellion and hatred have
been played…
So much better than you and I
can ever conceive.

P.S. See if you can believably work the excellent word "shmegma" into your work, perhaps as a far more powerful, dare I say, pungent? replcement for terms like scum, rot or stomach-turning mold. Or mouth breathing meatheads who say "Hillary seem cranky and shady so I guess the orange tantruming tumor and his Nazi pals look good". Centuries of delicate, complex democra-what? But reverse racism! & I had to downgrade to a slightly smaller house and SUV last year!! Because .. (bends ear, apes right wing media machine) Because .. Mexicans!! And Obama!!
Anyways, shmegma Its Yiddish for, well, if you don know I wont " the surprise.
