Malcontent Debris Poem by Tom J. Mariani

Malcontent Debris



Why do you think they wear goggles?
To keep their eyeballs in?
The two orbs are not trying to escape.
All they want is a little protection
From the stuff flying at you as you pick up speed.

You don't need the goggles
Quietily sitting writing a poem.
You need them,
Firmly strapped on,
When you're out there;

Collecting the stuff
You'll need to write a poem.

Hi there, A very clever tongue in cheek account of life at the sharp end of writing poetry, the serious message here is not lost in the humor, only strengthened by it -well done! Neil.
