License Revoked

Kurt Philip Behm

Reckless

when imbibing

He lost his right

to drive

 

For those infractions

time proscribed

A Poets

D.U.I.

 

He far

exceeded limits

His influences

blamed

 

Now doomed to ride

as passenger

In literary

— shame

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2025)

    I love this one Kurt the metaphor applies so well. I have often wondered with the liquor of time and age if my license as a poet has been revoked or soon will be. A fave

    Right, blow into this bag.
    I'm sorry sir, your licence to write has been revoked, step away from the computer, and I'll read you your rights.
    Okay, that's a year in jail, but due to overcrowding we're setting you free, but we're keeping your pen.

      Great analysis. A nightmare proposition.
