Subject: I Think, Therefore I Write

I think I will write a poem
Because I believe that I can
Soliloquist of course,
I know what I am

Perhaps, some would inquire
And respond euphemistically
I would certainly give it my all
Maybe too optimistically

But then, peradventure, I should
Sanguinarily express
My disdain for the truth
And baby, that red dress!

Oh, what does it suffice?
Whether truth be truth indeed
Or lies… envelope please
To reciprocate the need

And who will even notice
A little hue at the end of a peck
Or posture inclined
Isn't it all circumspect?

Reassurance is all that I lack
For poetic animosity
Architecture certain to befuddle
With my dignified atrocity

So, when I pursue civilization
With my eloquence of written word
Or my pride and manifest abilities,
None, would think it absurd

Oh, heavens to purgatory
What has been done to society?
As I am on the late night news
And they are checking me for sobriety

Officer! It was only an existential poem
As I, reverently, tried to explain
But, that dumb ass, the one I punched
Told me it was rather plain

Arrest him! Damn it!
