sorry to disappoint you





This poem is supposed to be depressing
if it can't be a good one,
but I haven't written for so long
and I had forgotten how to.
I wonder, should this poem be short
as one's dying breath
or as long as his poignant life.
A meaningless appearance
credited by a brief eulogy-

I don't know,
I haven't written for so long
and I had forgotten how to.
This poem is supposed to be depressing
but I haven't been depressed for awhile.
Well of course it's a good thing
for me, but not for this poem
as right now I'm trying so hard
to remember funerals,
dead friends and sad movies.
And using words
such as poignant and eulogy
doesn't seem to help.
This is not depressing.
This is not even a poem.
