Act Of Desperation Poem by Stan Rodriguez

Act Of Desperation



I meant that you should find me
over a glass of wine—telling jokes
just being funny

This tearful clown
in the guise of all that I would be
could be
if given half a chance


I meant that it should happen now
before the wind sets full your sails
and you miss my last act of desperation.
