Two Short Poems

My Advice

If you are looking for answers

Don’t look here

Don’t look there

either

Same goes for solutions

None of which

Are ever any good

anyway

Poem for Pops

It was hard to get past it

I think I’m past it now

I just stopped hearing

The sounds that don’t carry

Letting the sounds that do carry

Ring louder

It was hard to get past it

I think I’m past it now
