poor me

this the last blast
in heated bath water
toaster springs sizzle
icy glare cast in bronze shakes to
six-pack spilled southerly abdominal
another pill pops acne puss
and rust forms at the drain.

i remain upright
first person shame to claim
my fight to remain
well-hydrated my belly floats
help sinks in the concave porcelin
in which i think
to get out is better than dead.

    why can't I write poetry?
    Isn't it a simple word?
    If I could write poetry, I'd have it made!

      You need to break loose
      Apply the enema
      to your encrusted thoughts
      Achieve the flow of the cosmos
      It is there for the taking
      Just collect the old pennies
      Bring them to a coin shop
      They are worth a lot of money
