a poem is like a hard on
by Trevor Mitchell
a poem is like
a hard on

it is an unsightly
bulge down
the
front of
your soul

it is an
obscenity
waiting to
happen

it craves your
instant attention

you must take it
in hand

get it down

scratch the
itch
til it bleeds
and then
scratch it some more

you don’t know
where the next
one will
come from

or when
or
if it
will happen again

a poem is like
a hard on

so
use it

or
lose
it, fucker.
