The Poem

This isn't fiction, this is a poem.
There is a difference.
This poem is unlike many other poems,
it is also very similar to many other poems.
It is here as a small bit of entertainment.
A temporary relief from life,
a moment of contemplation,
an exploration of beauty, mortality,
and the human condition.
This poem is deadly serious.
This poem is mildly non-sensical,
This poem is self-reflective,
possibly even self-reflexive.
This poem in an exploration of expectation.
This poem is being written
late in the morning.
What is this making you think?
Has this been humorous?
Has this been serious?
Has this been in play?
Have you put the page down?
Why?
Why not?
