Poem Shards

  "Why do people write confessional poems"
    the article heading asked
  so I asked 
   why do they let these
       amatures have an
     encyclopedia so they can make
    anything up at all and
    post it to be forever nothing real,
        just out there to FUD and confuse.

   I didn't want to read his 
       ranty scree and call to action
   on topics about which the author knew little.
       He was just going to diddle
    his future hopes away.
   He'd say whatever he thought they
      would like to hear him say.
 
  But then, when he got his degree
     he started his own little thing
    and told them all he'd always
      hated them.
  "So I won't be running for any beers
         to night."

  The dramatic exit over, the final good bye.
   He left
   And the others, they
       laughed and laughed
