Shame


The best author will be the one

Who is ashamed to become a writer

I am a poet

Should I suffer shame

What are you doing Stan

Thinking about something Nietzsche noted

We have a busy day tomorrow

Our flight leaves at ten thirty

We deserve the break as life has been hectic

Can you not think about Nietzsche tomorrow

When we are sitting on a beach watching the sun recede

Jane am I a poet or a writer

You are neither

Meaning

That you are one of those strange creatures

Which inhabit islands in the middle of a wide rivers
