John D Robinson writes

THE TROUBLE IS
 
Trouble is that people
take some shit too
seriously,
mostly, themselves,
and
the job
the poetry
the music
the beliefs
the systems
the laws
the expectations
the newspapers
the television
the movies
the books
the paintings
the image of themselves
and when people
take shit too seriously
life becomes an empty
lonesome corridor
there are no doors
or windows,
no one can see in
and you can’t look out,
people will always
take shit too
seriously,
maybe even
this poem.
