It would be easier not to be a poet.
It would be a fine thing
to come home
watch TV,
untroubled,
mind blank like paper
without need for ink.
Much simpler not to have
a head so full of words
your brain hurts.
It would be good
to see a guy in a beanie
and not feel obliged
to find a metaphor for him.
No need to record,
transforn, or consider.
Just be in the world,
dumb and simple
like a badger or an owl
neither of which I've ever seen
but have read about
in poems.
I con't even go shopping without getting a headache
