Sour Grapes
It is with deep regret
I leave this world unnoticed
perhaps I should have been
a pop star of some renown
but no
I would prefer a quieter passion
Or better still
the flamboyant head
of a giant corporation
with stock offerings to boot
on second though
this is not for me
what would I do with a yacht?
or a successful writer
who sits alone
for hours on end
then travels from cocktail party
to cocktail party where
strangers shake your hand
It is enough to make you religious
please dear God
leave me alone
Jack Mashman
