Your Life

Your Life

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

sitting on a witness stand,
grilled by a witless judge
because you told a bad joke
six times too many

the mother, a f*****g pit bull
b***h with an agenda to maim
his reputation

not like he had one to begin with

and now nearing five hundred
days later, his life feels on the
verge of falling apart all over
again

all of his problems are
gunshot wounds, self-inflicted
of course

does he have a death wish
for his small collective?

a last-minute rush through
a yellow light turning red in
other words

who knows, it seems like
the edge of the Grand Canyon
is where he likes to live

or maybe he just likes watching
the Fourth of July light show
at home on a nightly basis

life just doesn't seem fulfilling
even when his offspring
dances around like a goofball

life can either be self-inertia
into self-momentum, or it
can be potential energy
staying afraid of becoming
kinetic energy

whatever your will is,
it will be done because
that's the main perk of
free agency after all

be inert, be potential or
be momentous, be kinetic

be positive, be negative
be a saint, be an a*s

your life is being lived
no matter what so
maximize it while you can

About
Kenneth The Poet is an optimist wrapped in the candy shell of moroseness and cynicism. He lives between the two parallels marked 46 and 49, all while living in the state marked 39. He pretends that he.. more..
