here is a new poem, i've begun working on a new series of writing that i may or may not publish some time down the road as a book. we'll see what happens. it is funnier poetry i think, mainly because i feel better and at peace with things in my life. or trying to at least, understand things in life and cosmos and to just let them be instead of trying to control them or be frustrated by them.
anyhow, here's a new poem for your consideration:
The party is over:
It hurts where I used to
play
I’ve become invisible
To women of a variety
Of ages
As I let myself go
Here and there
Spilling out of my shirt
And sides
My orgasm sounds have
become
My pissing sounds
Whereas a few years ago
I was enjoying the field
Now I enjoy watching
Marathon episodes
Of new comedies or
Action thriller series
I no longer think
About relationships
Or maybe “this one will
work”
Or anything like that
I don’t want to share my
time
With anyone anymore
Time is precious
I don’t want to learn to
deal
with idiosyncrasies
Or live with anyone
Or listen to their
bullshit
Or neurosis
No I’m content to putter
About my home
Make art
Play guitar
And parent my children
As I prepare
To enter the third
quarter of my life
I’m cool with it.
