707 Sometimes, more than gas. 9-10-17 (check the word search box)

Posted on September 11, 2017 by Ken Greenman

I’m an old man farting poetry,
most times leaving merely
an unsightly brown-green
bull-shit stain
inside my whitey-tighties.

But-

Once in a great while,
I get it right,
the poem punching with the force
of a well focused fist
on the point of the chin,
leaving a reader on his ass,
a “be-back-in-an-hour” sign
flashing across his forehead,
the poem-stench filling
his reeking, word-wrecked world
with the potent perfume of clarity.
