If my poetry is shit
at least it is my shit
these poets of pretentiousness
with their holier than thou stance
poised in their own greatness
who think big emotion
is only found in big words
when its the little words
in between
that are easily understood
my short stark words
are no more shallow
than your elegant sentences
both have the ability
to reach just as deep
it just depends on who
Im fine with reaching just myself
these empty bottles,
tray of stems and seeds,
and overflowing ash tray,
they are fine enough listeners for me
the big picture
is not allways painted
with grandeur
but simplicity
If you believe
every comma,
every apostrophe,
every semi colon,
makes you superior
then that is a target audience you can keep
I know who I am trying to reach
