The Moya View

this is not my poem


Today 
the poem I wrote
was not the poem
I wanted to write

I think
it was a decent poem
maybe
even a good one

I got enough sleep
I think

The moon was
not shining in the room
the sun was getting bright

The screen had
no stars
stripes
exclamation marks
nothing showing
I fell asleep
on the keyboard

Nothing had been erased
Nothing deleted

Every word
seemed
proper nouns
and verbs

I read it
and was
quite excited

there were
no words
that ruin
a poem

like
fibrous
astrophysical
rubus idaeobatus

but then
Let me
snack on it
snore on it
a little more

at least
until the gun
in my head
goes off
again
banging
everything
off the screen
