Watching

In the corner sits a poet

Watching as the world wildly, whirls round and round.

A poet sits there wishing, watching, writing

But the foxes around are too busy to know it.

The foxes, when alone can be caught worrying, wondering, whispering

Yet snickering, snitching, and smiling as they sit in their senile circle.

The kingdom is a fox, flashy, false, fake.

But in that tiny, turning, truthful moment

When ignorance becomes bliss…

The kingdom becomes a canteen of colors, creativity, charisma,

And the poet sits there watching, writing, welding the power to unmask the world

In the corner, invisible, sits a poet

Watching as the world whirls wildly round and round.

In the corner sits a poet,

But the world is too

Self-centered, self-serving, and self-conscious to know it.
