[the Writing of Kuypers]
So I’ve got this gerbil
and he’s running around
and runs somewhere else
it’s like that little fucker
and this is my life, you see
and this is what I go through
that fucking gerbil
[JanetKuypers.com][Bio][Poems][Prose]
Gerbil
this hampster
this rat
and he’s trying to get everything done
and he gets distracted
and he has to do something else
is in one of those circular wheel cages
and he’s running in circles
and he’s getting nowhere
and this is my brain, you see
I don’t know how to explain it
that fucking hamster
that rat
is still going in circles
and I can’t stop it
but maybe I should just take my hand
like the judge holding the gavel
and slam that damn thing down
and stop this damn cage circle
and stop this damn cycle
before it goes on any longer
