What is a poet?

Me, you, the world.

What’s it to me?

I tell a tale

With words and thoughts

Muddled together as a I talk and sing.

Trying to get people to understand

The world within me.

It pulses and jumps and leaps

The letters and words

Sentences and paragraphs 

That continue to singe my  veins.

Anything. 

Create and paste

Cut and glue

Words are my gun

And the trigger is my pen

Throwing out the reality that only I can see.
