So We Pretend
How do we choose all the choices we make From the simplest ones to risks we will take What motivates us to decide what’s our goal Will power, money, love, sex make us whole Are health and happiness the top on our list Or upon a good life of beauty, fame we insist We want […]
Cart Before the Horse
If we made our lives wide open to reading, music, art How would we choose, decide where we should start Never relished classical, like in the Saturday cartoons Hate rock, jazz, yet to elevator Muzak you hum tunes Presentation may be wrong; nothing works every age Not just times around the sun; how each fills […]
You’re Not
No longer will we require any high-school senior To recognize the words sagacious or prevaricator I do not think that’s wise, to say I do, I’d be a liar As the dumber we become, the lower we’ll aspire The only smart things we’ll own are phones, cars And really, both are more intelligent than we […]
Secretly Hoping ~ A thought ramble
Tired, oh so tired I struggle through My days, my daze Fight and push myself Till all of me pays The price Of one good day May cost me two Too late now My eureka moment Came deep in life Still, I’m sure, I hope I have many years Multiplied by days Pain, mental fog […]
Change
Change was inspired by and used the form of Shane Koyczan’s Remember How We Forgot, but is written from my perspective, which has more history than the brilliant Shane has so far amassed. If you don’t know who he is, go find out Change Forget how we remember Forget the games we played in May […]
Choose Your Occupation
We come to another country; we steal it from the people there Then act somehow miraculous, like we grew a bald man’s hair Whether we sell ourselves as motherland, fatherland, liberator People’s republic, or sun never sets, we’re but thieves, no more Despite our ignominious starts, a moral high ground we claim Conveniently forgetting that […]
Standing on My Head
This morning I decided I would start wearing My whole head right on the bottom of my feet It means I will no longer get to wear an earring But I’ll see where I’m walking down the street I’ve decided to leave my nose to sit atop my neck That way, I can smell […]
Care Enough to Ask
My mind is moiled, roiled, in turmoil and looking for a sign How can I, should I, shall I my thoughts and my deeds align To center my vision, steady my aim, get closer to my target Around the corner, in the future far away, so hard to mark it I must forget everything […]
Analyze the Reasons
Here’s a crazy thought that just jumped into my mind If what’s distant from our sight, light years in the past Could somehow make us the far-off future of our kind Be afraid, so badly we have done, in this role to be cast Would we be like future supermen to cavemen long ago […]
Screw It
Walk along with me for just a little while Away from prying eyes Perhaps we’ll walk along the ocean’s shore To muddle prying ears A raucous bar tonight might also fill the bill Over a couple of beers Please don’t talk to me while I’m at home Or if we should meet Or call […]
