THIS is the great American
Right here
Doing this
On her ass
BEHOLD the greatness
That is this American
Plugging away the dollars
Sleeping with his eyes open
Contemplating dead options
Again!
HOORAY!
I said HOORAY!
For the nothing and nothing and the nothing
Reading the Onion
Passing time over the clock
Ignoring the ringing
Letting the alarm
Become a rhythm to live life by
I don’t know why there aren’t any comments for this poem because i think it is a good one. I especially like the last section, as it’s reflective. This is a style I’ve been enjoying and want to attempt to implement.
I dont like poems, but that should never stop you from doing poems for fun or for MONEY AND ATTENTION
i appreciate the kind words…
i would also like to point out that poetry definitely doesn’t get anyone attention. its like a disease people are afraid of catching. but, i clearly like the sickness.
oh yeah, also funny: if you want money and attention, yeah, poetry ain’t the way fo sho
