The Greatest Poem You'll Ever Read

The great thing about poetry
is that it is never
the same the second
third, fourth
or hundredth time
you read it.
It is solid in every word
Though interpretation,
that's a different
thing entirely
On some level
you begin to pity
the ol' bastard
then the next
thing you know
you are the ol' bastard
smoking cigarettes
sipping whiskey
and writing poems
that no-one wishes
to read.
