Words For Sale

Whom could it be, this professional Poet

  selling his blood for a few kernels of grain

 

Whom could it be, this professional Poet

  pandering to others in search of a name

 

Whom could it be, this professional Poet

  drunken talk-show appearance, stumbling again

 

Whom could it be, this professional Poet

  the strongest of liars—the weakest of men

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2014)
