I'm not Tom Petty

I'm not Tom Petty

A Poem by David P. Eckert
"

Another crisis

"

What am I thinking

plunging willy nilly

into silly putty

stuck like Sunday comics

to no place I belong?

 

I'm not Tom Petty

free fallin' into nothing

eyes closed, nose closed

bomb drill position

till it's safe to come out

 

I've no answers to your test

didn't study hard enough

like seventh grade

out sick not knowing

your test was coming

 

I've seen this film before

hated the ending

you away somewhere

when we picked "b"

instead of none of the above
