I am not needed
to decipher a memoir.
Nor do I have to
tell my tale of
disgust and disdain
in an attempted fashionable
wordplay.
I hate Pollack.
I hate disarray.
Because I have lived
that lie for 58 years.
Buck the system?
Damn, why?
Just sit—hands folded
in lap… and
watch “it” destroy itself.
No more will I be
ashamed of being a coward…
to decipher a memoir.
Nor do I have to
tell my tale of
disgust and disdain
in an attempted fashionable
wordplay.
I hate Pollack.
I hate disarray.
Because I have lived
that lie for 58 years.
Buck the system?
Damn, why?
Just sit—hands folded
in lap… and
watch “it” destroy itself.
No more will I be
ashamed of being a coward…
