J.J. Campbell- A Poem



an unsent letter to my father

you caught me
pretending i'm
good enough to
be remembered

that i'm worth
a few moments
of your time

your thoughts

a brief pause

a gentle crease
in the fabric
of time

though, given 
how the rest of
my life has gone

i won't trouble 
you any longer

goodbye
 
 
 
J.J. Campbell (1976 - ?) is some hack that dares to call himself a poet. Much to his horror, he's giving up his farm life for a life in suburbia once again. Somehow, he's been widely published over the years, most recently at Horror Sleaze Trash, The Camel Saloon, Midnight Lane Boutique, ZYX, and Raw Dog Press. You'll find this asshole most days bitching about things only he cares about on his blog, evil delights (http://evildelights.blogspot.com).
