I could be giving you cliche,
you know this right?
I could regurgitate borrowed words
from stolen poetry,
package it up pretty and
convince you it’s wisdom.
I could cut these down,
give you tight and trite
and cash in, I could aim
for the instant gratification,
the lazy or the bored, I could
hide behind them, call them
art and watch the bank account
swell, call you fans instead
of followers, praise you for
your dedication to the
carefully crafted nothing
that I give you, the crumbs from
the table swept aside with
irreverent hand. I could tell you
you’re wild and you’re free
and you’re a Paris and wine
kind of person while your eyes
float by, I could call myself poet,
call myself artist, while bundling
up these banalities, but really
what’s the point?
