I've Filled Up the Page (Literally)

Poem 20 from my chapbook "As Glamorous as a Kidney"

By TestPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

The dream is flying out to Florida

At any time and hitting Miami.

Rolling up to a club with a ball

Of cash.

Drinks, drinks, drinks,

Music, music, music,

Women, women, women;

Then back to the hotel.

{

The dream is going anywhere at

Anytime because I’d like to see.

I’ll find whatever it brings

Along the way.

{

The dream is a nice home with a

Billiard table in it. As well as

A room to work in.

{

The dream….

{

Dreams….

{

It’s all in your head and how

Long you can stay motivated.

{

It’s all about effort and how

Many times you can fall down

To get back up.

{

It’s all about meaning it.

Fighting discouragement.

Re-discovering the road towards

Your desire.

{

The dream….

{

I have too many.

Their all great self-sustaining

Ideas while occupying my

Current job and obligations.

Except their empty until I put

In work towards them.

{

Florida is too expensive.

Anywhere at any time boils

Down to plans.

A home of my own is far

From here.

{

The dreams I envision while

Awake take me further than

This garage.

{

The work I am doing is

An extremely dirty job.

{

Literature.

Literally.
