Understory 2020

Patience and Irony

I have no patience for poems today
I’m writing one anyway even knowing
I will not be satisfied with reverie
those waking dreams
my brain too busy for that familiar
idleness

I’m saturated with too much bitter logic
unable to create things
reimagined

Birds are birds
Flowers are flowers
and I am still
regrettably
myself
