Working Class Narcissus



My collar is blue
But my neck’s still red
My soul has to grow corns
As well as my middle finger
From writing
From pointing out that
I’ll work and I’ll pay taxes
-I’ll not be certain what good they are, though.
And yet
I won’t stop avoiding death
By reading a gloaming
And listening to the poetry
Of a speechless youngster
Who doesn`t know anything at all
About the daily insanity
Because he’s very busy
Falling in love with
his very own soul.
