Non Allegro of a Quarter.

© The TS Eliot Foundation.

I went on a long trip to see a total solar eclipse and I didn’t write a poem.

I traveled through seven states, took the longest routes

saw two bald eagles in freedom leading the road

and I did not write a poem.

I am not broken inside

Nor empty of words

I’m just too busy

Trying to figure out the world.

I’ve been hit by T.S Eliot days after

Listened to Rach’s constantly.

Thinking and feeling a lot

about a poem.

But I don’t have it.

And I do not consider this one of these.

I haven’t forgotten that I am not a poet

thus I know,

that in some phases of life

one must write a poem.
