Poetry Will Get Your Nowhere Poem by Yohan Confectioner

While you sit
In your corner
And puke
Words onto pages

She's canoodling
With someone else
At the back of a bar
Drunk, high, careless, and free

While you wallow
In words and
Your mind bends
With the curve of each letter

She's on the couch
Naked and bare
Pinned down by hands
That are not yours

While you sit in silence
And gather your thoughts
About love
And more love

She's being caressed
At the back of a car
By someone else
Without a care in the world

Poetry will
Take you nowhere
Except
To the pits of your soul

Get up
And get a move on
This petty poetry
Will get you nowhere.
