Philosophy is Tricky
by Rachel C JohnsonWhen you wake up writing poetry
you expect something bigger, better
than you ever actually get.
You expect anything at all
from your day, and when it’s over
you are left with nothing,
just rolling in disappointment.
Words are eluding, philosophy is tricky.
And when you wake up with poetry,
it messes with your senses
and fucks with your mind.

Author's Note: Not poetry; not really. If anything, a diatribe, full of cynicism and sarcasm. So, read like you would if you were feeling particularly trenchant. Happy readings.
