The poets

What inspires us to build these fences
To hide the mouse underneath the bed

The tiresome lengths we'll go to
To see to it that noone sees

Hiding what we really are:
A shifting, fleeting thing, fragile,
Scurrying in need of tenderness

The unforgiving lack of imagining in others..

Is why there are so rarely poets
On the pillow beside us.
