the greatest poem i had ever written

last night i wrote the greatest poem i had ever written
my phone was dead
so i grabbed a notebook and pen
and frantically wrote the words

the words seemed whispered from the mouth of an angel
directly into my ear

i wept as i wrote them

i saw splashes of tears on the page
they enhanced the beauty of the words

this morning
when i finally got tired of being tired
but not sleeping
i decided to send them out to the world

i stared at the page for hours

but
couldn’t make out a word
of my chicken scratch
penmanship
not being my strong suit

so to that angel
if you can read this
from your cloud
or wherever

sorry
