Simple Minds Poem by Cin Sweet

Simple Minds



everyone 'round here
so slow, barbaric
they know what they know
anything else, they say
not worth knowing
their brains smell of old tar
and through glazed eyes, they see
their clumsy dull shadow
-on everything
and that, more than anything
makes me sad

Fine write (as per usual) ! care, sjg
