A Hot Mess
Once again I have
wandered ragged all night long
when I should have slept.
No use threatening
me with the consequences
you usually
throw at me, lover.
I am already beating
myself down, turning
me less than human
and more like a damn hot mess -
an unsightly show
of bad decisions
on top of bad decisions.
I am not worthy!

ReplyDeleteIf I were worthy
Would you still
Want me
Would you still
flaunt me
Would we survive
The demise
Of your pet project
Were I not your
Pet-peve
Would you leave
Me stranded in some
Public place
With the taste
Of abandonment
And the smell
Of betrayal
On the air
Were I worthy
Would you leave me be
Free to be
Someone else's
Pet-peeve

You know I don't like rules...
Too bad. Rules are everywhere where several humans have learned to cooperate with each other in order to do meaningful work. Equally true of wordsmithing once you get to publishing, which is why a person can assemble a whole college level course on it.
DeleteLol, actually I couldn't fucking remember the three words and was gripped by the poem that emerged on it's own...I actually like participating with 3WW
ReplyDeleteHot mess can lead to good poems - QED! although a good night's sleep is better..as the cat's grumpy face may imply!
ReplyDeletePoor grumpy cat. A cash cat of sorts. She actually isn't grumpy at all according to her web site.
