• Poetry revised

  I have been trying hard
  To kill poetry
  As if it wasn't dead

  Wait for
  simple in action
  simple inaction

  This is a poem that contains no deep metaphors
  No deep level of meaning
  I mean what I say
  And I say what I mean
  Why complicate it
  In an era of complication
  Metaphors were made for 1950
  When access was limited
  Information scarce
  If I sound jaded
  I assure you I am not
  This isn't fiction
  It is fraction

  I am direct with you because I am devoid of creativity
  And originality
  I am not selling anything
  Just wasting time
