DON’T GET BEHIND…

I HAVE GOTTEN, OF LATE, BEHIND,

WITH READING WORKS OF THOSE I FIND,

TO BE OF INTEREST IN MY SEARCH FOR MY KIND,

WORK CONSTRAINTS, LONG HOURS BEING MY BIND,

I HEREBY OFFER MY APOLOGIES, HOPE YOU DON’T MIND.

I HAVE FOUND OF LATE TO BE INCLINED,

TO WORK MANY HOURS, FOR THAT ILLUSIVE BIGGER PAYCHECK,

I COME HOME FROM WORKING 12 HOUR DAYS,

TO FIND FOR MYSELF A WAY TO UNWIND,

BUT FIND MYSELF STILL CONFINED,

TO READING THE WORKS OF Clifford, Kostro, & others so fine.

All those mentioned above are but a small segment,

Of a greater group I seem to keep track,

maybe I am so blind, as I keep these folks poetry,

close to that of my mind,

they always seem to make me feel, almost refined.

So if I, of late, am getting to your writes, again late,

maybe it is because I am kinda stuck at the gate,

due to my companies usage of my talents, so great…
