Self Portrait of a Mostly Modest Poet


I've got no lemon tree in my garden, only 
An orange tree bearing fruit too dulcet for 
My taste. Long for something cutting that 
Reflects life's bitter/sweet nature.


Once I was stopped in the street and asked
About my political opinion. The following 
Day my face appeared in the news where
I spoke gibberish for 2,5 seconds and not
15 minutes. Strands of hair flying in air,
Looked old too and the image I had carried
Around of myself fragmented into dust of
Middle age.
