Yeah, I Got Nothin'

Yeah, I got nothin'. Got no sonnets here
To post for readers -- here, or anywhere.
I'm writing this while losing all my hair
And meanwhile, filled with contumely and fear,
Repressing memories. It's been a year
Of pain, distress, and things no one should bear
Alone. So I got nothin'. Let me share
This general malaise. Let's have a beer

Together, maybe watch some weekend sports,
Discussing how a sonnet helps us all
By speaking fourteen reasons for the Fall
Made up of eight remarks and six retorts.
My fellow boozers laugh. One spits, one snorts,
And I got nothin' -- one flat basketball.
