Rusty Dusty

What am I doing here?
I find myself sitting in a chair
Smoking hash
Listening to NPR news
What am I doing here?
I don’t even have to get up for a beer
I just keep the box on the bench next to me
Look at me what am I doing here
Get off your big fat rusty dusty and go take a shower
But I’m writing man
I don’t even want to share my poetry with my friends
They say do not show your poem to a man who is not a poet
Noted
I had a friend who was a poet once
Didn’t last too long
Don’t have a poet friend anymore
When you meet a master swordsman,
Show him your sword,
Right?
Yeah work hard and get a raise
Do your job buddy
You are paid to write
Sure
No money
But sure
Paid
Paid you are
Go take a shower and come back when you feel a little better
Doesn’t sound too important to me
Thank you
