*A little detour...a little more cynical than usual I guess...I wouldn’t really consider this a poem, more of an observation/criticism of what people look for in writing…



Detritus mopes along the sea floor

Normally consumed by the bottom-feeders

Strangely enough in this time and age

Scavengers come from all corners

For a delicacy oh so relished

Of decayed substance



In search of the immediately digestible

For it produces instantaneous results

Forgotten is nutrition--

Value found in rumination





*Perhaps this is incomplete, but at least the thought is out…
