Note to Self

I've had enough
of these erudite,
witty word-plays,
idea-games,
tales with twisting tails,
subtle stories with subtler germs of a gist...

just say it.
just say
you either hate this life
or you love it,
in as simple words as you can,

and you can say both at once,
in fact, if you don't,
you're lying,
and you're not a poet,
you're a politician.
