A Poem by knightcall

woke up with my body beat up
wondering about my Monday 
when right now i can't stomach the sight of the
wild jackals circling wearing
worn out white shirts
why do i get stuck with this model t
wobbly and worn at the wheels
wind him up and get some wind
when we will we get out of here on time
Wal-Mart wristwatch not keeping time?
what did they do to you that
whittled down your morality 
warped your sensibility and
wrecked the windshield you see the
world from jaded and cynical
winding down the weeks
whispering jackass jackass under my breath
weary from you launching into a story
woefully close to quitting time
words boil up inside me
why couldn't have known you twenty years ago
wind up in the parking lot and
whale on you
