THE POETRY OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Standing out in the cold
Writing a poem
That no one will ever

Read

This is the way
The life of a poet

Capturing the light
Within the dark for
No one but the here &
There and not the everyone
Of everywhere

Only in the shadows
Of brief humanity
Do we wander
In a new century

The crowds
The masses
Only searching
For the next big

Thing
