Piss In A Boot

By Tony Brown

It’s a new world out there
and while I’m glad to be alive in it
a lot of folks have left me behind
to see how far it spreads

so
sometimes I’m as lonely
as a drop of piss
left behind
in that proverbial boot
that’s been turned upside down
by an idiot reading the directions
on “pouring piss out of a boot”
that are written on the heel

it’s an old sad joke
but the idiot doesn’t get it
and apparently neither do I
since I can’t seem to fall free

it explains a lot

    Tony, re: Piss In A Boot, you seem so free…living free, falling free, expressing freely! Some of your poetry just hits the nail on the head for me…thoughts, insecurities, whatever that normally flounce around in my mind are addressed and become straight, organized, settled, workable, sensible. Then the thoughts are made ok. Thanks for that. Does that make sense?
