[hometext] => Just my most recent poem, I hope the website brings back my old ones. If you check out the old site there is a poem called Why Me? I wrote. I want to thank everyone who commented on it, and I wanted to say to anyone who likes my poetry that Why Me? will be published this fall in a book coming out from poetry.com, and I also have been given a chance to read it at a national poetry convention in D.C. which I may go to if the cash is there. Anyways....
[bodytext] => You seen that local guy?
The one who walks the street With his discman blastin' Sometimes walkin' to the beat Yeah him, that one guy He goes by once or twice a week Says hello with a nod And doesn't really speak You might think he's dyin' With all the clothes he wears Long sleeve shirt an' jeans But it don't look like he cares People give him a look Some think he's a freak Kinda limps to one side Leg must be weak Well that guy That's me Walkin' to the music For the town to see As I walk by I can feel your eyes And if I turn and catch your look I just keep on movin' And put a mark in my book See, I'm counting up the freaks The ones who need to stare As I walk on by Not seemin' to care I count up the gazers Racists, egoists, all the judgemental I pass no verdicts Jus' bein' experimental I guess I'll go home Relax and just laugh out loud You see the books gettin' thick Enough face3s for a crowd All the people who pass judgement quick Every single hater See, those are the freaks I'm just life's spectator FM [comments] => 1 [counter] => 163 [topic] => 7 [informant] => Factor [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => HumorPoetry )
