Poet's Apartment
Some books are filling shelves and can stand straight;
The magazines that won't fit elsewhere lie
On top at a rankish angles, they must wait
Till cleaning fits come on me by and by.
While some shelves, not as full, leave books to lean,
Their stance unsteady; bric a brac, too, sits
On one side and the other; in between
Are messy papers, half-done model kits,
And over all loose sheets of varied hues.
The mail ( no manuscripts returned );
More book ads, writer's guidelines, market news
( New targets, lest submissions come back spurned) .
How end this wordy clutter? I've no hint,
And yet I'd love to see my words in print!
Lary Smith
When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.
