Poem of the Day 10.01.25

garden variety drunk

the words haven’t come
to me in months

as i sit in the sadness of a september
with no cold air coming

reading poems by poets

who write odes to old taverns
while only drinking three beers a year

and as the empty bottles
collect around me

this mirror stares back

at nothing but
an aluminum can shakespeare

a recycle bin bukowski

just another
garden variety drunk

with little
left to say.
