Poetry, etc.

Jesus never wrote poetry; he dictated it.
If you move at the speed of my TV for too long,
there's bound to be a problem.
Only now can I begin to understand the metaphor
of love and hangover, love of hangover,
of spry metaphors of how free i was
in a silky sheen of a swamp,
only now, just now.
It's not easy to write poetry
For one thing, most of it gets me to writin' more,
and I can't be seen with such a discredited pastime.
Now is not the time.
And the freeways go south,
South of north.
