filler
by miranda hawkins

 

This was written for the exact reason thet the title indicates, filler. We had this funny looking spot left over in the Lit Mag and nothing to put there. It was really annoying, so I wrote this in about 10 minutes to fill up the space.

 

i'm composing a poem to fill up space,
so what should i write about?
perhaps love. . . ?
no, that's been way overdone.
perhaps death. . . ?
no, too morbid.
war?
too depressing.
hate?
too malicious.
i never realized it was so hard
to find a poetic subject.
maybe i could. . . no,
too boring!
oh well, i guess it doesn't matter.
i've filled up all my space,
so i'm going now.
goodbye.
