BEATNIK: A Poetry Collection

a poet

I am not a dreamer,

a seeker, a wanderer,

or an honest soul.

I am a cheat, a liar,

a thief, a drunk, and

I do not look for the

answers.

I merely shake my fist

at that which doesn't

initially reveal itself.

I do not strive to understand,

for everything beyond my reach

offers change, and change

scares me to death.
