Free Writes
by Brian McGuigan

 

in fifteen minutes
I could write the next theme for English B
or another disjointed rant on consciousness
and the effect of drugs on quantity
on the mind
instead I free write for Langston
for poetry
fifteen minutes could not capture
poetry with a lifetime of pain angst struggle happiness
in fifteen minutes
fifteen fucking minutes
a baby is aborted
a steak is eaten
a floor is swept
in fifteen minutes
and all I want
is a poem
right
here
