No More Favors, Please

September 2, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is teenagers.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A number poem about a nineteen year old tired of favors loaded with expectations:

No more favors, please!

I'm already choked with people,

Nice people, sweetly moved,

Expecting themselves in the mirror.

Time to look at your watches,

Ease yourselves into lounges,

Enjoy the quiet of taking,

No more intrusive than trees.
