Anthony Ward’s most recent poem to appear here was The Nervous System(October 2012).
That Sinking Feeling
By Anthony Ward
I sink into myself
Until I’m practically drowning
Until I’m practically drowning
Waving my arms in the air
So people think I’m crazy
Just hankering for attention
As I go under
Nobody noticing
Until I’m gone.
Well thank God, there is no water here, only talent.
