THE MAD POET



He’s not someone
I would date.
He’s got too much
on his plate.


Alcoholic.
Paranoid.
Schizophrenic.
Unemployed.*


He’s bipolar
and he’s bi.
Not a
user - friendly guy.


Sadomasochistic,
too.
Oh, the kinky
things he’d do!


All those voices
in his head.
Ice picks
underneath the bed?


I still love his
sorry ass.
But I think
I’m gonna pass.



*He’s technically underemployed, not unemployed - but that didn’t scan.
