OF GOATS AND OATS


now, a question of goats and oats.
if for not other reason than
if rhymes so very nicely.

now will try write something
with some substance.
or substance abuse, whichever
happens to float my fancy.
just roll the dice.

reasons for too complicated
for an old neanderthal 
with nostalgia problems, vying just to be.
no subtlety required, or implied.
at least not at this point, anyways.

unless, of course, it snows.
snow changes everything.
have long-johns ready,
willing and waiting.


she said: didn't know gun was loaded.
really? come on! gun  holds six rounds.
she reloaded twice. do the math.
guy's got 18 holes holes in him.
surprised he lives to talk her down
form reloading a third time.
he finally decided divorce
better than be all shot to hell.
he keeps gun as memento. 

well, hell, what have we here, then?
another angry, lost soul, perhaps?
hope drowning in selfishness. 

 corrupt, but not so, cannot
be recovered from self.
pity party for all concerned.
raging maniac one row over,
throwing caution to the wind.

MOTIVATION

humans need motivation. without motivation, humans stagnate. stagnation breeds madness. madness: burning, burning bright. what magnificence! sunrise! sunset! eloquence of such loveliness. ride high in spirit of the mind. then there are those folks either unable to read a map, or unwilling to read a map. no, much to simple, when something so simple can be turned into something so confusing and absolutely frustrating. maps show one road leading from point A to point B. following road makes it almost impossible getting lost. now, these folks use step by step, computerized directions and become hopelessly lost. it is at times like these, find it quite refreshing having a  good loud scream! look at a freaking map, people? cannot get any easier than that. okay, then, have had that scream. feeling much better.  retreating into one's self and finding comfort there is, indeed, greatest of all comfor

NEUROTIC

have become neurotic. everything to me is a poem. cannot stop writing poems. book in left hand, pen in other. obsessively hungry. just one more poem. there are worse things, of this am quite sure. even breathing, now becomes a poem. breathing show and  steady I go. empowering, saddening  all in same moment heavy breathing this strangeness becoming partners in Netherlands partners in crime arrest apparent, imminent laugh until cry, cry indeed we must keep in mind: one's sacred is another's hatred. because, because, because. because is optional, always. at least till day of dawning.  just because..........
