Poem: help me break my/ patterns

CM Evans

--

help me break my
patterns
they blind
me

the way
i decide how
to place
a line

snow reported
to be 1.7 inches
in this
afternoon

as i struggle
to find my
feet today
in my
profession

instead i
look up Billy
Collins

who has never
written a
poem i
did not
like

then i wonder
how someone
like this
could
exist

and do they
ever mean to
get their feet
in the
day

yet go looking
for other
things
