Alan Berger shares another one of his poems with us this week. This poem has quite a sad tone, mixed in with some excellent lines and rhyme schemes.
It all goes by so quick
One day you’re experiencing
Your first licorice stick
The next day you’re at your urologist’s
Hat in hand covering your dick
It was not more than a few ago years
When my melodic voice caught pretty ears
It all goes by so tough
A familiar thought is
I have had enough
But you plow
Somehow
I wrestle with myself
In the dark
With the eternal
As I make my way thru the external
Sometimes I sit at the end of my bed as my feet shake the floor
The guy in the apartment below does not mind
He looks like he even does it more
I Slept in my clothes last night
I did take off my sunglasses
The sheep made many passes
Over the fences as I rhymed sentences
In the morning I took a walk without my phone
Had a talk with me myself and I alone
Ever have one of those nights and days
Would not surprise me
If the answer
Was not nay
It all goes by so slow
Like a cloud without wind to blow
