metamorphosis

i’m starting to resemble those

people I laughed at

picked on

stole from

when they were

not looking

i’m now

the guy

sitting at a coffee shop

consuming

coffee after coffee

reading poetry books

headphones in my ears

writing in between

of course a little bit “cooler”

because my motorcycle helmet

and tattoos are prominently displayed

i guess this is me now

a me i never thought

i would be

it’s not that bad

it could be worse

people could actually

show interest and want

to speak to me

    Hi John,

    we met today at the Nu Cafe; I am the guy that was playing guitar. I'm glad I was one of those "people [that] could actually show interest and want to speak to me." It has been worthwhile; it has led me to your poetry. Nice stuff!

    Since I have to pick a profile to comment, I picked livejournal; I have an account, but I don't think there's much there; I've been mostly playing guitar. Maybe I'll get back to writing when my fingers freeze up!

    I hope we meet again.
