I sat on the hotel bed
(I forgot to bring my own sheets)
and the cracks in the wall
filled with pity, as I told my story.
I was talking to myself
and the parrot beside the bed
(His name was goldfish, for thats
all the hotel would allow).
Offered only a soft echo.
Your picture winked at me,
and not being able to stand the smug
I grabbed my raincoat, my auburn wig
(I felt like being different)
and I put on your necklace,
even though the cheap metal
gives me a rash.
And I'll get into my plastic car
because everything is plastic
(excludingsoulsandallthingsgodintendedtobe)
good
The radio's on and
The weatherman says they're clouds in my head
I guess that means its going to rain....

Thanks for reading. I'm not any sort of professional poet, but I basically write what comes to mind. It's nice to hear that you enjoy my pieces.
I honestly haven't created any new poetry in a year, or two, or three, or something like that. I've only been transfering some of the stuff that's in my poem/journals. I want to share it with the world!!!!
