Owen Roberts

...I'D TRAVEL THE WHOLE WORLD
AND SHIT IN EVERY CORNER OF IT

Times Square
was an exciting place
all that porn and sleaze
I loved every second of it

Times Square 2003
taken over by moral pundits
Mickey Mouse and Jesus
if it's dirty or evil
we now have to get rid of it
one day
we will be free of
drugs, crime, whores, filth, weapons, addicts, bums, hustlers
no more crackhouses and
no more ghettos
just clean
Blockbuster video stores and Starbucks coffee shops
and of course legalized casinos on every other corner

"Hello Sir, may I scan your forehead?"

Laugh tracks
to kill the silence
to kill the lack of humor


REJECT

I will be the writer
who wrote
nothing

many writers have made millions
writing nothing

all these book of poems and stories
never read
none ever even submitted
I don't have time to be rejected
   I'm too busy
