POETRY MORSELS
by Jack Babcock
the bird
the birds
wings cut the sky
another bird proud
has his own
way to fly
cutting the sky
hovering over his nest
as if to say
I am the best
His wings cut the sky
Amazing you and I
Bed
I saw on the tube
An ad for a bed
King sized
I’m single bed Jack
It would be nice to do things in two
2.
doing things in one tho is nice
no petty quarrels
no intrigue no spice
one is just fine for now
two is too many maybe
my uncle used to say
that he was a lone angel
so be it. I’m an angel. Jak
living
what’s the point of living
if you can’t
smoke a cigarette
drink a beer
blow some dope
or
drop some acid
what’s the point
Author’s note:
14 years of sobriety
baseball
illness
I have 3 illnesses
Schizophrenia
Diabetes
Acute kidney disease
3 strikes 3 strikes and you’re out
But I feel pretty well
