i'd like to write

a poem


a really good poem
but



my fingernail chipped and the polish
isn't the quick dry type.

i just know
there's a really great poem in me
a poem

that will stun
everyone


insightful
brilliant
universal


but
it's almost lunch time
and the cats want fed and

tho the words are there
the time is not

and i could get to really
feeling sorry for myself, but

there's darfur.

words fail


write a check
write your government

i did
now i'll feed the cats.
