I Am Not Your Receptacle

I Am Not Your Receptacle

A Poem by Penulis Kecil
"

Just something I threw together this afternoon.

"

I am not your receptacle,

not your Grand Canyon

to feed with the echoes

you hunger for.

 

See me!

 

I wear a three o'clock shadow,

and vodka stained walls

starved of the things

you're asking for.

 

See me! See the person-

I am not your echoing chasm!

 

See me!

You cannot pour juice

from an empty jug.

nice transition from feeding echoes to starving ... and again with the echo / to the empty jug - hollow...
