Strange As Mine – Image & Verse

Strange As Mine

I think I could’a been
a novelist
maybe that’s what
I should’a been

yes
sure
maybe

but then

with a mind
strange as mine
that wanders far
and so wildly fast

thoughts explode
pyrotechnically
sustained focus
don’t always last

so many concepts
project at once
like a prism
of fractured glass

so many visions
command attention
ever unfolding
crazy fast

I’m a serial writer
a single story
doesnt hold me
very long

I can be just fine
as an author
for ’bout as long
as your av’rage song

I’m in my glory
with a good short story
write the hell
out of a page or 3

but to grind on
with a single topic
so sorry folks
that just ain’t me

I find it fun
to write an essay
then choose new topics
without delay

but writing a book
think I’ll forego it
I think in bursts
so I’m a poet
