Am I?
Am I? ~~~~~ Does everyone feel the need to create Or only to impose order on the chaos? Is a search for a higher purpose innate, A way to handle death, since we must? All creators, I think, have some doubts. For any who believe, did god feel this? Omniempathetic, god must have bouts. […]
Cannot Imagine
Cannot Imagine ~~~~~ Have you this modern truth brought home, Your devices, machines, smarter than you? With all their various prompts and screens, Your car and phone communicate, so new. New to me; I’m old, adult before this time. My first job, each file kept on paper alone, Eight jobs in, till a mainframe I […]
Life in the Time of Pandemic ~ 2020
Life in the Time of Pandemic ~ 2020 ~~~~~ Life is trying to stretch us thin, our circumstances extenuated; we must not pretend. Lies, treasons, tries, reasons, bring denials, excuses, accusations, misdirections, blame. Death and life, fraught emotions, fear, sorrow, danger from friends, family, strangers. Lack of support, no recourse, leads to requested sequester, masks […]

What Time? What Hope?
What Time? What Hope? ~~~~~ Being greedy In small steps. Grabbing what, What you want, As though It’s yours, By right Or rite. Casting bones, Waving feathers, Odds and ends Imbued with power. At midnight, Any hour Darkness hides Our fright, Our trepidation, Nervous laughter. Hoping, hoping, Longing to know The secret, Wrest the prize, […]
Can You Dig It?
Can You Dig It? ~~~~~ So, have I come to writing lists Of things I want and need to do? Deleting them one by one, or this And that added to tomorrow too. Have I gotten done what I hoped; My tasks, merely marking time, It’s my best to say I matter most. As if […]
That’s Why
That’s Why These days, life feels so crazy and confusing. It does not one bit of good to keep refusing. I simply cannot spend all my time snoozing. I find no answers in the books I’m perusing. I am told it’s about the winning and losing. And I think this more than a little bemusing. […]
Amelia’s Garden
Amelia’s Garden ~~~~~ Jacob Jonathon Johansson-Jost, a poet, scholar, philosopher to most, In his eyes, he’s failed, though only he sees, Yet, he is proud, chin held high, with dignity. After breakfast, he pauses in his study doorway lighted by the windows that face the garden, her garden, Amelia’s garden. He turns and surveys the […]
