 Poetry

There's An Echo
As I'm Walking
Several Stories Underground
To My Dimly Lit
Bench
Secluded
On The Far End
Of The Train Platform

All My Subway Prose
Flow Smoothly Here
As The Rest Of The
Overly Bright
Overly Noisy
World Vanishes

Oh
How I Love The Dark
The Mechanics
Of This Cavern

The Poem Scroll
Lengthens
Unnecessary Words Omitted
No Punctuation Wanted
It's Straight
To The Point
And Not Open For Debate

Your Misunderstanding
Strengthens My Resolve
The Words Flow Faster
The Lines Grow 
Shorter

Remnants Of Fragments
Going From Mind
To Pen
To Paper
And Back Again

I Could Write Here
For Hours
Under The Warm Glow
Of These Ancient
Humming
Fluorescent Bulbs

These Are Stories
Trapped In The Shadows
That Only I Can See

Suddenly
A Revelation
I Am Now Exactly
What I'm Supposed To Be
In A Time I Don't Belong In
An Unknown Artist
Broken By Life

Now Comfortable
This Is Where I Belong
In The Shadows
With My Art

This Wielding Power
Gives Me The
Privilege
Of Telling People
To Fuck Off
A Lot
