Benny Biesek- A Poem

Trouble Is

I am down here with Flora and she is nuts.

She proclaims that faith in God in my

Mind vanished ten years ago.

Ten years ago I was working at least

One job and had a woman in my life

Who got me square between the eyes.

Now I am prone to beg for not begging

For mercy. To make matters worse,

I can hardly spell "mercy" right no mo'.
