he sits back all kerouac
trying to seem like a bigger fish
his neurosis wants me to see a piranha
but i’ve swum his dirty tank
tried to filter his polluted waters
and i know
he’s all crappy

. . . that’s bringin’ him down to natural size fish-wise . . .
No fish every deserved to be fileted as much…
Very clever! I was hooked with “he sits back all Kerouac”…what an image!
Thank you, Unsungpoet!
This dates back to 2012 and this person seems to be the theme for two pieces, I have to wonder, what happened to your Kerouak?
Not everything is exposition. Not every character as real. Little of my poetry is confessional. My characters are composites. If you’re fooled, then I suppose I’ve done a convincing job.
