Good Night, American Poet

Appointment tomorrow keep?
Don’t think we will let you sleep!
We will ensure that you show up
Feeling like you’re going to throw up

Staggering as though you’re too high
Trying your best not to cry ~
Let’s see that smile beguile them now!
Let’s see you demonstrating how

Content can be with very little
Not left, not right, in the middle ~
We know very well how to
Make sure no one listens to you.
