We poets are emotional,
fragile creatures, fashioned into
bodies fleshly to you, foreign
to us, awkward in our skin,
we feel awkward in our stance.
We want to be
like you, we want to be
cool like you, drinking
Skyy Vodka, dressing beyond stylistically
fly, but we're stuck on the
runway, words jumbled in
our minds; the control tower's
out to lunch and there's
a million things we want to say.
Forgive our sensitivity -
dear lovers, forgive our
transgressions, making ourselves
sick, bowing to the Porcelain God,
wasting our insides out.
Pretty words with pretty
handwriting, we think that's
compensation enough.
We hope that's compensation
enough.
Never lauded, it's all we
have to offer.

I heard the door close
not slamming, but slinking shut
in an unfortunate and unhappy desire to be undetected
as if secrecy could lessen the pain....
You make great poems <3
