reversal

the irony of once again being
homeless,
just after learning that
my first poetry collection,
"Songs from the Road,"
written while I was last
homeless,
will be published soon,
is not lost on me;
on the eve of having
my first poems to be published
in "Notes" magazine,
I ought to be celebrating,
eating well,
and sleeping late;
woulda, shoulda, coulda,
and a little more misery
to feed to the Muse.
