Give me poem topics

On Saturday I'll be typing poems for the public at a neighborhood festival. I need to get my lyrical juices flowing. Give me a topic, any topic, and I'll type up a poem that will appear in my next blog post. My time limit will be five minutes per poem—so expect something closer to Bukowski than Shakespeare.

  1. Heh, I dunno about anyone else, but I'd pay cash money to watch you channel Bukowski live. :D but the topic? 3 lines encompassing Bukowski's reaction to being AI deepfaked into generating inspirational quotes for social media.
