Read A Poem Poem by Charles Chaim Wax

by a poemhunter regular
about another
poemhunter regular
the other day
so figured I’d give it a shot
English sounding name
but living in Amsterdam
perhaps hiding from the law
51
no longer young
but not old
picture the lad wearing
a red silk robe
smoking hash
while
semi-nude women
polish his toenails
fellow writes
jaunty poems
and I’ve always admired
such
a wondrous state of mind
immune
from the mutilation of depression.
