A POEM FOR TODAY

AFTER THOUGHTS


Falling in love
With ladies on IG
Women on TV
Are figments of the
Imagination
How else could it be
They not even in the
Realm of possibility

A POEM FOR TODAY

HER NAME RHYMES WITH GLORY



I was hoping for her name
Rhymes with glory
To give me a reason to
Come back to visit Brooklyn
Someday like
Here's my love
Take all you need but
Her name rhymes with glory
Said nothing when I
Left town on the greyhound bus
Bound for Ohio
But her sweet late night delicious
Deep kisses day before yesterday
Begged to differ yet weeks later
I get a phone call in my
New home her name rhymes
With glory argued how did we
Ever become friends again anyway
Based on a previous break-up
That we had had
Because I always forgave you
The nonsense that comes with
You I said
She hung up and
I never saw or heard from
Her name rhymes with glory
Again
