Brother Jake

Brother Jake

the page i write upon is folded at the corner
i think i'll pick up a book and read
the t.v. is off
notes clear a path through the air to my
earlobes
fancy that
i'm not going anywhere
it's late...or rather early
my eyes grow weary
the smoke from the incense
forces them to do so
a poet at heart at a loss for words
unusual i suppose
my pen writes my thoughts
though i have none
i am dumbfounded and braindead
it's a good thing no one is
making a movie about this...
(laughter overlaps the notes)
