In his eternal search for truth,
the poet is alone.
He tries to be timeless
in a society built on time.
Jack Kerouac
Definition of a Poet
(reflection in the mirror)
doesn't care, no
cross to bear
only
... time gone by
in broken dreams
these chaotic locks
lost beneath
blue eyes red
staring dead
despite
my
reality
ringing clear
... yes indeed
I'm a lost soul
ole' wayward poet
never has been
never wanna-be
a beatnik-loving
bastard
that is
if I am
at all?
