Total Can’t Recall
Tech jackets, watches, glasses won’t mean a single thing Won’t matter what they know or do, unless they’re bling Sure, there is a certain status in the land of the nerd elite Doesn’t mean they’ll play the burbs, be seen every street Unless this tech makes you look sharp, stylin’ and profilin’ Can you honestly […]
Blue Screen Cafes
What do expect, from texts Just the usual suspects How would that be With life the fee Head down Smile or frown Attention, intention locked In a little box, a pox Yet only letters in a row Like any word we don’t know Shorthand, perhaps But often slaps Is there reason to listen Moments to […]
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 […]
Love
You have always given me more than mere love Laughter and music, and the occasional shove You have helped me to grow, relearn how to cry You have helped me to sometimes not ask why You have been so loyal and steadfast; my rock You were forged in love, the only key to my lock […]
Incomparable
Incomparable A Poet’s words with poets’ words The mind is its own place It sits here behind my face If I can keep my head, It’ll serve till I’m dead Why, friends, do I compare me To all gone before, all to be Too soon full fathom five No longer alive What story will be […]
Sing a Different Tune
When I was very small, the lines and squiggles baffled me As I grew, what I learned of letters, numbers set me free I learned to imitate them; mine were large if done neatly Growing gradually smaller as I grew larger, exponentially For many years I could see all right, whether day or night Gradually, […]
Waiting Room
Hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait Get there on time and they will be late Sit in a waiting room full of strangers And worry about any possible dangers Not even surgery, sticks from a needle Questions ask may make me curl fetal Likely done before I’ll feel too nervous They practice long […]
Portrait Puzzle
It seems right now, today, I have nothing to say Different tomorrow, perhaps, or on another day My attempt to fool myself, may work, or may not Feeling I have not one idea, no creative thought Still, words slowly crawl along this blank page Nothing here, I think, will make me look a sage Who […]
No Matter How Long
When you finally own your creation, you suspect life knows The path ahead should be clear, no-one stepping on your toes Not life, it does not work that way, just a game of yes and no Life sometimes tells to you stop and sometimes tells you go A game, a carnival ride, a roller coaster, […]
