Poetry is nothing
But everything
Dances in dreams
That vanish when you wake
Coffee and cream
With a taste of cake
Simplicity found
In a hard drive
Books bound
To stay in an archive
I have problems
and I’ll swap mine with you like trading cards.
Long lovely disorders go over the lips like chocolate
but honey, we’ve been writing about these pits of darkness
long before shrinks slapped name tags on them.
