[2017] This Poem Is Not About You
Play it again, Sam
thoroughly and through
but without that bias
you're accustomed to
This poem is not about
You or You or
You-You-You
Hit the button, PAUSE
for your own cause
Check the fine print
each and every clause
What confirms your
suspicion?
The applause?
Guffaws?
No one here
is breaking the Laws
Claim
Plausibility Deniability?
No need to
Dear, everything
written by Me -
not about You
It's not my mission in life
How can I get this through
your numb-skull-ed
thick ego?
What is it
in your head
that makes you think
I go to bed
dreaming up
ways to make you
the topic of conversation
daily as folks drink
water in congregation
around the cooler?
I got better things
to do with my spare time
measured with a ruler
not your reasons to go
with my rhyme
Inspiration
coming at me
from all directions
So ....
does this write
pass your inspections?
Or do I really have to
spell it out for you?
This poem is not about
Yooooo-uuuuu-ooooo-uuuuu-ooooo
