Hard at Work and Nothing to Show
The Bluegrass Fair
presumably going strong
across the town
on a beautiful day
the perfect day
for carnival fun
Text messages sent
Let’s go to the fair
while the weather’s good
gather zero replies
after two days waiting
and I don’t want to go by myself
Today has seen
several poems started
and zero poems finished
just trying to make something good
out of a lonely day
that gives nothing back

I felt the same way when I was trying to get someone to go to a concert with me lastnight. I went by myself.
So sad. Good poem though
