Maaan, I can be a poet
What does it mean to be a poet?
Poet
Poet
P.O.E.T.
(Poor old elderly timebomb thinks she’s gonna be a poet)
He’s a poet
She’s a poet
They’re a poet
We’s a poet
Wouldn’t you like to be a poet too?
Me! Me! I would!
But could . . .
well that's just stuff they tell you
like
anyone can grow up to be president
pretty is as pretty does
letters behind your name mean - something
I need “Poetry for Dummies”
To become a general contractor of words that cross lines
covered by iridescent motor oil and blowing sand
So they will laureate that
“You’re a poet.”
and I’ll laugh as I pick up my statue because
I didn’t even know it
Is validation a prerequisite?
Ashamed to want it but
when a poet writes a blog in a forest
and nobody feels U
did we even make a sound.
