Egoistic Poem

I think I'm helping keep
a few more people alive
with my poems, which are
like stabs in the darkness
trying without meaning to,
to cut through to the light.

I just look at the graph on
the site and it tells me if
something I write gets hits.

I could try to play with it,
but, shit.   Is it because I'm
being honest? (I'm beyond
trying).....

Right now, it kinda
feels like a farce....in the sense
of satire..and, here's the twist....
that being real is satire relative
to what seems to be going on.
