my foolish inclinations

This is Constantine's artlog. He posted his poems in his own artlog forum for several years. He named the forum "Constantinople" and described it as "A byzantine journey through life's labyrinth."

my foolish inclinations

Post by constantine » July 12th, 2008, 11:05 am

words are all i can give her
she is beyond my reach
touch, i smile
at her with outrageous stories
similes and metaphors
i bandy my intelligence
show her i have something to say
that i'm different
but she knows i'm not
she is being reasonable
showing good sense
i touch the keys that are not keys
long distance phone calls
electronic impulses
i argue without arguing
i beg without a cup
this is the point
where i should step back
try to relax and examine
my foolish inclinations
i light a cigarette
walk to the kitchen for coffee
pick up the pen and continue
