A genuinely low ebb

Oh
What’s this one about?
About childhood
My father
The old country
The decline of values
The death of culture

Are ya gonna damn the masses?
Perhaps dissect the modern soul?
Compare the gutters to people?

Are you gonna be an artist?
Do your art for people?

Are you even going to do a sarcastic one
About what poems are about

Even though
That
Too
Achieves nothing
And you
Know
It

There

There isn’t a line I won’t cross
