J.J. Campbell- A Poem

an unsent letter to my father

you caught me

pretending i'm

good enough to

be remembered

that i'm worth

a few moments

of your time

your thoughts

a brief pause

a gentle crease

in the fabric

of time

though, given 

how the rest of

my life has gone

i won't trouble 

you any longer

goodbye

 

 

 

J.J. Campbell (1976 - ?) is some hack that dares to call himself a poet. Much to his horror, he's giving up his farm life for a life in suburbia once again. Somehow, he's been widely published over the years, most recently at Horror Sleaze Trash, The Camel Saloon, Midnight Lane Boutique, ZYX, and Raw Dog Press. You'll find this asshole most days bitching about things only he cares about on his blog, evil delights (http://evildelights.blogspot.com).
