THE SECOND BUS

Maybe I shouln't be so venal
or is that venial
but then wouldn't that make me more mortal?
Ineffable
So why am I trying to speak it?
Clever, cynical, sarcastic
It's not your fault
just an accident of time.

Ok, I finally got a dictionary and can comment. It seems the narrator is being hard on himself, and yes, sarcastic about it, but perhaps hurt as well. This is one of those that make you think hard and that's always a good thing. Nice job!

Interesting poem. You had me checking the dictionary on this one. You missed the bus - is that it - being too mortal - so now you have to catch the second one......and it was just an accident in time?? I'm probably way off......but you've done a good job of tickling the gray matter. Nice write!
