Poem #15: Grape

Your praise

Doesn’t pay

My bills.


Your appreciation

Never bought me

A vacation.


The recognition

You force on me

Comes from a self-serving

Space

And puts me further in debt

To you

And to myself.


You beg for

Authenticity

But hiss and lurch

When I show you

How it’s done.
