No Poem Today
(read Hafez instead)
Reclining in a tub full of no poem today, guzzling wine
ensures this fool of
no poem today
My verses barely scratch the surface, except when I intend to
pull off
no poem today
Well versed in the other masters, at your feet I drag up a stool
of
no poem today
Better soak in the senseless bustle of bees, or drunken doves
who coo of
no poem today
Even aspiring artists admit there’s no coming up to the cool
of
no poem today
Face it, there’s really no point resisting the rule of
no poem today
Watch the cat trap a patch of sunlight and coil its tail
around a pool of
no poem today
Jim, you must submit to the school of no poem today.
