UNREAD POEMS
to be unknown
and unread
to be left alone
to my own devices
words on a screen
rhymes on a page
I do not crave the limelight
I offer no excuse
I write words
on napkins
on scrap paper
on anything at all
that is all that matters.
the rest of you can sell books
or sell your identity
or your names
I am sold on words alone
an outside
just looking for a spot to write.
