1972 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Last Time I'll Ever Think About Her, I'll Bet

Someone says he has to leave her now
The shit on bathroom walls are
About as bad as that in the toilet
An auto cruising could so easily 
Lose control
God is there in her little 10c bible
But what use is there
Now
Hope flew away so easily this afternoon
Tears
& more tears
But they ain't really coming from her eyes
Someone wrote a letter but the
		stamp was rightsideup
For once and last time: she cried too
And sent it back
Dirt on the ground with crawling vermin
TV's on the blink
God took his bible back to the store
Her pen puts him in her hand
And she writes another one of
		those damn poems
Cause no one's there even
This time to tell her how true
		it is
