(*pop*)

I was high above the
mountains
when I heard
the
(*pop*).

I threw out
my Mercedes,
and
My jeweled
Rolex

And still I
went
down.

I didn’t want to
freeze up
there,

So I threw
out
some more.

Over the
side,

over deserts
I dumped
my furs.

I landed in
Ocean.

I couldn’t swim,
letting go
My ego,
and felt….

Buoyant.

Learning how to be a better human being through poetry, prose and my journal. Still working on a better life in San Diego, CA..... Truth is, I am just another human among eight billion other folks on planet Earth. I've been told that my poetry is dark. I practice poetry.
