Kelly Kurt Poems

It requires little more than a glance
To notice I don't fit in my pants
My name rhymes with jelly
But I, with large belly
...

The worst example I've seen so far
Stupidity beyond any par
An unexpected sneeze
Dislodged Donald Trump's keys
...

February
Though this is a leap year
Is perfectly placed
March is that much closer
...

You were around other people today
I wasn't
Usually by incidental lifestyle
Now by intent
...

Hurtling through space at unfathomable speed
A comet appears as a stationary blur
The naked eye discerns it this way
Hurtling through life at unfathomable rates
...

Remember when you weren't an old
Opinionated jerk
The times you cited the absurd
As evidence
...

The law only matters
If it is enforced
If it is done so equally
Unconditionally
...

Still at This Time

The way that you go about
Trying to know about
...

To date
I have never been black
I'm not sure which is more restrictive
But I also have not been female
...

This isn't some 'end-time' bullshit
This is not punishment for being human
From some infantile, imaginary deity
It's a reminder of reality
...
