I touch the gravestone
Warm from the afternoon sun.
I have come
Here alone,
Many a time
My mind
Full of rhyme.
But under the cold gravestone
There is neither sun
Nor rhyme.

There Once Was a Poet Named Moat
There once was a poet named Moat
Who traveled the seas with a goat.

Which grew steadily worse.

Doze

Grow older, I

In my armchair.
I wonder

I will die.

Power
“Can I use your bathroom?”.
“Of course.
Do you want a shower?”.
She sprays cheap perfume.
“No, I’m okay”.
What is force?
And who has power
Over whom?
He has had an hour
Or so.
Now she will go.

But at half-past 7
I change from Kevin
And dress in the clothes of Flair!
