Bad Poet

You try to tell the truth.
You may be drunk and wrong. 
You don't care 
about that part.

People get wisdom from
people on the street.
How am I different?

I love where this is going...
I'm just not sure I can get there.

Any art that's good is going to
piss some people off.
We know this.

Poetry is the way I discovered
what I am. You want to argue 
with this?  

Poetry is what I clicked into
as an intelligent human being
where I could express myself
freely pissing into the wind.

The ones that understand 
language, that love words,
might connect with me.

This is not where I hoped it
would go. It's not bad enough.
