a throwback. one of my first pieces of poetry
He disappoints
Like unexpected rain at a water park
Like a sock with no pair
Like a chocolate cookie with no chips
Like a hoop with no net
It’s OK but just shy from enough
Far from acceptable
He disappoints
Like an unexpected phone call
Sad news and like
a pillow with no pillow case
Raw, unprotected
Like an open book that lacks clarity
a sense of put-togetherness… lack of
Like a sea with no fish
An alley with no trash cans
(makes no sense)
Like a catcher without a mitt
A hooker without a hit
A journey without a lesson
Meaningless, uncalled for
Like Barney with no purple
A car that’s on E
A world of no second chances
world broken because of too many chances
Like
Love without the reciprocation
Valleys without the desertÂ
Meal with no room for dessert… He disappoints
