I GOTTA GO TO THE STORE

I've run out of poems
I've got to go to the store & get some more
What will it be
A poem about Heaven from Seven-Eleven
Or a simile from Wal-Mart to dry my tears?
I need some poetry
I'm in sad arrears
There's no Lake Como here
Like there was for Byron & Shelley
In that Romantic era
Or an Innisfree like there was for Yeats
Or a lot of grass like there was for Walt & the
Beats
I've run out of poems
I've got to go to the store &
Get some more!
