NORMAL POET

sometimes it bothers me
that I'm some kind of ordinary
somewhere sometime
I already wrote about this
I'm not sad no but I'm starting to think
that apparently this is not normal
if the "poet" did not become a "phenomenon"
it's time to create an image for yourself
picturesque mad
(slightly)
poet
not quite standard orientation
otherwise my affairs are bad because I
I love as the Lord commanded
I walk for a long time
and I have one wife
as taught by the Apostle Paul

I get up at six in the morning
I'm going to the toilet
etc

I don't wear a beard
no beard
no lush curls
up to the shoulders

think a little about death
I'll correct the rhyme
and then
immersed in life

in the evening
ripping off the calendar
another leaf
September 24, 2007
267th day of the year
ssh. Suns 6.24
call 18.31
on the back of a leaf
chop recipe
roll in breadcrumbs <...>
on a very hot <...>
fry on both sides

I read magazines before going to bed
all sorts of
literary artistic
monthly and those that come out
once in two months
or once a quarter
and I discover (with surprise)
that the poems of my famous colleagues
(poets and poetesses)
gradually become similar
on my
and my old poems
similar to their
new
