[Poem] Power of the Pen

“I am the new way to go/
I am the wave of the future.”

Without something to do this place feels boring
and anasthetic
Grab a notepad and a pen and suddenly
good music is playing

It improves the feel and noise of the
place immensely
There are few subjects for people-watching
always the regulars

I like this music.

No room for pretentiousness at a goth night,
you know.
We’re all here to make fun of ourselves.

What a noble gesture
What a grand acceptance of the ridiculous
nature of people.
In the end, I’m not sure if it’s even
more pretentious.

Maybe we’ll talk instead of spar, he
and I.
