Dump it Out!

By Brad Kelly

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My soul a rusty coffee canwith some clangy contentsthat bang whenever I move.Pouring it out on the floorI see a lot of things I had forgotten:Disdain for authority,cynicism,infinite questions,a couple used-up answers.Tired desire for peace, a beat-up chunk of compassion.Two wide eyes, willing to see truth.
