I know that nobody likes poetry except suicidal teens (and who cares about them if they're just going to kill themselves, am I right?), yet I'm still going to post some poetry here on One Year in Texas because I can. If you have a problem with that then email me at jake@oneyearintexas.com. Let's duke it out.
Strangers in Strange Places
I once met
A Guy on the street
He was confused
So I gave him some directions
I hope it was helpful
I met a guy with no money
So I gave him some
He said thanks
It was pretty nice
I met this guy named Eddie
He was an asshole
But he had
A mustache
So I hung out with him anyway
A Place Called Somewhere on Anywhere Street
I went to this one place
It was on Anywhere Street
Did you know that was a street?
I didn't, but
I still went there
It was sort of cool
But also sort of boring
I don't know
I guess it was okay
It could have been better
Maybe
Some of the best poetry I've ever read. Take that Shel Silverstein.
ReplyDeleteJake, I had no idea you had so much emotion bottled up. I'm glad you've finally found a way to express yourself.
ReplyDeleteJake please do not treat suicidal teens or poetry so callously! You could be responsible for either's death.
ReplyDeleteI love these so much! I'm going to go write about them in my journal while wearing too much eyeliner and fighting with my parents.
ReplyDeleteI loved these too, I hope we see them more often! You're a regular William Carlos Williams
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody! I'll do another poetry corner soon with some haikus.
