Beat Poet (2009)

I'd like to be a
beat poet
use the line break as a weapon
to pierce that stoic glare
we wear
each day
show you the jolt of a heart
leaping
to meet you

I'd like to be a
beat poet
stumbling
over my lines like a pro
unafraid of the
fall
unafraid of it all

I'd like to be a beat
poet
rhythm and rhyme and no reason
a broken metronome
ticking
the way all broken things should
the way
I'd
hoped
we would
