September #28

I have this goal for this month
more poems than I've written for any other month
Guess what?
Here it is,
my page for September.
Like Langston.
I'm pretty sure I'm spelling that wrong.
Is that heretical?
Must I be perfect?
Can't I just know,
and trust that my spelling is usually right?
Or must I always prove myself?
Sometimes it seems that way,
as if simply because I choose the less popular view,
I devalue myself and my abilities,
when really I am better suited for other posts.
But enough human vanity.
Let me sleep, and dream.
