Gary Edward Geraci

Recalcitrant (for not being ‘this or that’ kind of poet)

No one in the end is happy with me.

I tire myself out with schedules and Masses,

Writing and trying to serve all classes.

 

It’s never enough though, there’s always something

Lacking; it’s beyond my ken, comprehension;

Scorned by the culture, even religious men.

 

Devil be gone with my middle finger!

Jesus Christ I trust, you’re the only one,

To love me as I am, a beloved son.
