if you can't say anything nice about something, then write a poem

 


I wish I could say, write
              something profound
about our existence
                          about love
                             about endurance

to bring it all into
                            clarity

to show it has some
                           ultimate purpose

but I
can't

it's all just empty beer
                                 bottles
and busted peanut
                                 shells

scattered
    across
      a filthy
       kitchen
            floor
