99 sats \ 3 replies \ @plebpoet 15 Jun \ on: Stacker Saloon
Let's read some poems today! Here are a couple from Sam Pink that fell out of his book "99 Problems to cure whatever's wrong with you or create the problems you need."
THE WHOLE SHOW
Sometimes it all opens up
as the simplest, most
all-encompassing truth.
And you see behind the curtain.
You see the glass screen you're
behind. The whole show.
Knowing you can't play
that character anymore.
Leaving them behind,
they breathe on the glass
and write 'fuck you'
but it's backwards
and meant for them
anyway.
ENOUGH
Changed the way
I greet strangers
from a glaring,
single downward nod
to a glaring,
single downward nod
with hand slightly up.
It looks like a wave
but also signals,
'Enough.'
