Soup Label

Soup Label

The critical success of
"Notes Written on Cash Register Receipts"
allowed me to fund my magnum opus
"The Soup Label Chronicles".

Unfortunately, success went to my head and
"Losing Lottery Ticket Strategies"
lived up to its name

I hope this,
"A Short Poem Written on the Back of a Fruit Tin"
will launch my career back into the light

But I fear this gig has been played out
And all I am left with
Is an empty can,
And a desecrated label
Full of crossed out words,
And reworked phrases,

And although the soul yearns for more,
There is nothing left to write with
Nothing left to write on

And after considering the empty shell of a can that is my muse
I can only conclude,
There is nothing left worth writing about

Perhaps I will find more inspiration
Down at the kitchen...
