The Black Book Poem by Barry Middleton

The Black Book



the black book made more sense
than modern poetry

it sayeth and it said unto
giving sound advice and gibberish

it paints an ugly picture of a god
made in man's image

or maybe it was modern poetry
back then

inspired by oral tales and hijinks
and miracles

the begetting went on and on
until it came to me

I had to turn to the white book
I had to write it
