Defenestration

Long Confessional Poems

By Frank Critelli

____________________

I wanted to write one of those
long confessional poems
you know, the kind that go on and on
and on
I was going to list every fucked up thing
I ever did in my whole stupid life
along with gut-wrenching and pathetic apologies
or maybe
fuck-you-I'm-glad-I-hurt-you-I-never-liked-you-anyways
or whatevers to the poor humiliated victims
of my bad temper and bad decision making
but then
I thought what's the use of that!?
I figure we're all owed as many apologies as we owe
and nobody reads my poetry anyway
