Bert's Last Write

What you wrote yesterday is quick sand history
no one remembers including you.
It's the exhalation dissipated.

Old poems makes for rickety.
Their skin sags, their muscles stiffen,
the waste basket invites.

You, the emboldened vaulter,
like a mountain goat from ledge to edge,
one daring verse to the next.
