| Ninth Day |
| by Paul Corman Roberts |
| There’s a feeling
Perhaps you know That feeling one gets Upon the perfect creation The poem that poured itself Out of your wrists In less than six minutes That needed only one edit And even that one questionable Such a perfectly crafted poem It was like it wasn’t even you who wrote it. Your beautifully crafted poem Quickly made the final round of an esteemed local lit-mag contest Your beautifully crafted poem Quickly made the final round of an esteemed local poetry slam Your beautifully crafted poem Quickly garnered you an orgasm with the most beautiful person you could hope to share an orgasm with That’s not the feeling I mean. I’m talking about the feeling the day after When the most beautiful person has gone back to their life When the slam is looking for a new champ And the lit mag has a new deadline And you are left with Your beautifully crafted poem And all the space left after That is how God felt on the eighth day And why war was created on the ninth. |
