Sort of the Same

Spent, shattered shards,
splintered, spewed and
splayed, spread rough shot,
across shifting scapes, in
swirls of soil and sand.

Seems especially similar
since I’ve certainly summarized
this sort of scene before,
something stunningly same,
of slender artistic equities.

I’ve said it some other time,
these alliterated stories of
sorrow, sadness or sweetness,
summed up and spat out,
a series rerun.

A sequel to something I said,
about trees, or hearts, or sex,
or lovers, signifying a desperation
for substance, sorely lacking with
substandard alliteration.

So, something to say, supple in
seriousness and specialness.
A sure show stopper to send the
senses spiraling into space,
a spectacular spectacle.

Something worthy of Shakespeare,
or Sam Shepard, I’m steady, ready,
steamed and sharp, so I’ve just to
say it. To say it, the something,
something stupendous.

Shit.

Stupid stuttering syllables.
So many disappointments.
Shattered, shards of sentiment,
spelling nonsense,
constantly.
