A Defeatist Song



Because a natural suction
existed between the old and
obliging doorways,

the bright bay windows
of a makeshift study
burst wide
open.

The poet’s pinkie finger
prospected the blank pixilation
of an MS Word
document.

He was quite resolute.

The poet had stubbornly refused
to dignify any of his creations
with any sort

of after
life.
