People like me
Write letters to themselves.
Sometimes on a lonely night,
After a couple of glasses
Of crisp white wine,
I post them home,
Rolling the parchment
Into a little scroll,
And tying it to the
Foot of my pigeon,
Freeing it from its cage.

But it flies back to me,
For outside is the
World's cruel reality.
So we create a world
Of our own: sweet, unreal,
Untainted by the evil of
The two legged humans.

Schizophrenic,
That's what people in white coats call me.
But I am only a poet,
Am I not?
