The Best Poems I Have Read

the best poems i have read have been too instructional

on the road it says: do not enter
no u-turn pedestrians crossing
one way no left turn

at the door of the newly weds on their honeymoon:
do not disturb

and in my house when you enter:
you are welcome

i guess it is all there is on these poetics
i have tried soaring myself
to the skies pretending to be a bird
painted sunlight carefully with the
color and flavor of my words

it did work for a while
sending some sensations to my heart

it did not last long: i am looking for some
doctor's prescriptions

Rx: poetry
one capsule,3x a day
after breakfast

no alcohol
just plain water

to my failing health
it was the best
