Depressing Poems

Depressing Poems can be blunt in a way
that may overlook subtle details
even if they don't balance
or nearly balance
the
equation

It's natural, though
to clutch the obvious
to seek provincial shelter
to walk the beaten path
to take comfort in soft placebo answers
to want so badly
for life
to make any
sense
at all
