Who Is

To a friend A friend of mine ended up in a hospital His heart had taken a heavy load of a hard life. I told him he was no longer Tarzan. but a middle-aged man whatever unresolved problem he has in the past he had to leave it behind in the heap of hurts and slights that hatred only damages the hater. I spoke from experience, I had been where he is now. Who's the finest poet in The world? I inhale roses'scent And spew words over The land. Fertilization it's called. Not that it helps When we consider That 99% of people Don't read poetry And the literary 1% Pretend they like poetry Because it is The cultural thing to do
