I Have Started Using Firewood
Crosscheck with An Honest Magazine
Price of liter of kerosene:
What it costs to upload ten poems,
I hate: Thief!” leading to requiems,
Poet to freely leave Cybercafé,
And at home drink Calming Nescafe…
So, I’ve started using firewood,
Where piles of Good Ones stand have I stood:
On this day the Twenty-First-August
No shame asking Ant to be My Guest…
But-Gosh!-Cruel Smoke for Unprepared Lungs
Please, pray, I don’t start speaking in tongues!
