being a poet
is similar
to having a heart attack
on the toilet
when your family
discovers this factoid
they leave it out
of polite conversation
oh yes, he was a writer
or
oh yes, his heart just gave out
there is just
no easy way
to explain it

It’s easier to tell someone you’re a junkie than a poet.

Truth is, I rarely speak of my writing. I just wanted to get in on the conversation and try to be witty.
