Poem On Demand

To soothe the savage beats

that hound us through our lives

these days of traumatic uncertainty.

You’ll find them now more frequently

in unexpected places most likely,

because the fabric of what we assume 

is reality is so frayed that the flesh begins

to show through…embarrassing for some…

delightful for others.

You make the artists create, you do, we

are the ones that try to get you back on track

through hyperbole….you get so off the path

we try to point you in the right direction.

No wonder you love/hate us.

Artists are free..no wonder they have such

problems. They’re not like pop singers that

cost you a lot to get you to where you think

you want to be. No, they tell you where they

are, which is where you are. Take it or leave it.
