The Poet's Poem

by Adam Gosha - Sagittarius

Everywhere I turn a poetic mess
blazes out of control.  The cream in
my coffee, a universe created as
I exhale endless spirals of smoke and
innumerable varieties of carbon based
life-forms.  The ashtray wastelands and out-
of-place lanterns emitting beautiful but
senseless blue flame.  A transparent reflection
of a family's cheese cake dinner where
the great dreidel spins and dies
magnetically north.  The cold touch of death
held within an automobile's light bulb where
Spanish fleets sail to avoid nuclear distraction.
From environment to the mind to the pen
to the page, all is saved then passed
away for the brain is a slave to the poetically
insane!
