Hey...

I just composed and posted a poem in about 15 minutes.

Don't I qualify for a grant or something ?


ST. CHINASKI

find the narrow ladder
and climb up

just
climb
on
up

reach that platform
and breathe

breathe in
the ghosts

of calliopes
lions and
red balloons

one quick glance down
is all you're allowed
when
nothing
is there

so step off

the left foot is there
isn't it?
and
going
nowhere

now swing that right foot
thats it

now left

now right

left right left

the wire appears
and
the wire always provides

but you have
to find
that
ladder
first.
