I'm Going To Write

For twenty-five years
I could have written verses,
but I didn't.
Tonight I could write
something profound,
but I won't.
Instead,
I burned myself out
on three decades
of debits and credits
and right now fuel my mind
with this can of
Bud Light.

In my lifetime
I could have been a poet,
but...

The excuses are done.
I'm going to write.
