I recently have become interested in poetry. Before, I thought it was an ineffective way to put an opinon across. Yet, now I consider poetics more effective than standard descriptive writing.

For this week’s posting I attempted to write a poem. However, during the week I realized something about myself: I’m a really bad poet. Nevertheless, I’d like to share a piece of writing.

SAN FRANCISCO

This poem was found written on a paper bag
by Richard Brautigan in a laundromat in San
Francisco. The author is unknown.

By accident, you put
Your money in my
Machine (#4)
By accident, I put
My money in another
Machine (#6)
On purpose, I put
Your clothes in the
Empty machine full
Of water and no
Clothes

It was lonely.
