Tilt-a-Whirl
A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms

All I Want

by Bruce W. Niedt

All I want is to be left alone
Don’t call me from my evening meal.
Keep all the beggars off my phone;
all I want is to be left alone.
I hardly ever leave my home,
so spare your shady timeshare spiel.
All I want is to be left alone
Don’t call me from my evening meal.



Bruce W. Niedt is a “beneficent bureaucrat” from southern New Jersey whose latest chapbook is Breathing Out (Finishing Line Press, 2009). He has twice won first prize for poetry at the Philadelphia Writers Conference.
