Weekly Poem: "Maybe"

Maybe

I may or may not

be publishing a book

(of poetry) on Createspace.

I may or may not

be reading my poems

out loud

at a festival of words

in April.

I may or may not

make a mess of it.

(I’m scheduled to)

talk for at least

a ½ an hour.

I may or may not

tank up on coffee

from McDonald’s.

Got a coupon, 2 for 1,

will drink both

on a Saturday night in April,

no Easter Bunny in sight.

I may or may not

rub shoulders with the hoi polloi

(invited to two parties)

who don’t know I had to scrounge

up the membership fee.

I may or may not

enjoy myself, art and photos

in the background, not mine,

certainly not mine.

I might have a new book

of poetry for sale in April,

then again I may not.
