Returning home with spaghetti sauce
and a squirt.
Look down at litter look down on Earth.
it is warm and getting hotter
and worse
I'm alone and getting older
and worse
Only two dollars in my wallet
and worse
and worse
I'm poor and older and
I know it
I'm lost and alone and
I know it
It's cold and getting cooler and
I know it
I came home collecting trash
with a squirt and spagetti sauce
in a sack
and worse, I know it.
Hi Jugbo,
Welcome to A2K. Amazing what kinds of stuff you find thrown away on the side of the road eh?
um, is that a piece of
sausage. no?
is it a mushroom?

yea ... you don't want to eat my spaghetti!!!
I like this one too, Jugbo - I am a sucker for repetition, and that kind of driving, relentless rhythm...and bleakness!
I like it, I really do there's something to it something that makes me want to read it agian. I agree with dlowan I'm also a rhythm junkie and dam this poem has got mad rhyhtm.
Big props for the top poem.
I agree, after short post about mushrooms, that I like the rhythm. Others more musically astute may than I pick out vagaries on set rhythm. Which makes me think, why'n't do it apurpose. Well, many have. But fooling with rhythm variations and poetry, I suspect there is a batch of stuff done before but I don't know about it myself.
Of course I do too, that is called Music.
Still, it seems there is room for play.
musically astute than I, sorry, can't type....
