Unconventional Journey
Andrew Mark Watkins 1973 (Birmingham)
Unconventionally poor like a dog without a saw tooth bark
I sit in my unconventional chair and write without imagination
I speak the prose of Shakespeare, not Barthelme
And I wonder aloud well in my head
How can this unconventional life be so bad?
and deep and lonely when all I want is a friend
to take with me on this unconventional journey
About this poem
This poem is one I made up and covers loneliness, reality and frustration. Notions. Did I say notions? For some reason, I can't explain notions and their importance.
