RKS Poetry Anthology: “Dedication to a bus driver that will never know”

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inUncategorized

Dedication to a bus driver that will never know

Blank paper makes as much sense

As the music of the turnstiles

Constant inflow and outflow

Fail to distract the frustration

And the odious comfort of mesmerizing pacing

Brings minimal solace

As

Insanity claps the narrow ledge

Of its opposite sister

Masses of flesh ooze their way

To compartmentalized hopelessness

A man makes love to his whisky bottle

Amidst the red eyed concert goers who mumble by

The greedy chocolate smeared wretches

Who annoy with mimicked telescreened adventures

Eros remains helpless joylessly suffocating

While Thanatos gleefully offers an exit and frustrated young poets

Sit in buses unable to meet the 5 year plan of literature

Futilely attempting to explain all
