YOUNG MAN


CAROL O'CONNELL-IT HAPPENS IN THE DARK


complicated life,
made so by complications
all the live life through.

and then, curtain comes down.
not just down, but down
with a raging roaring flourish.

busting right on through 
and through and bang!
done and gone and ended.
pickup pieces and move on and on. 


all the live long day, hey
all the live long day
he had had some gambling debts
all the live long day
when she found out
she had him put away
all the live long day, hey




wacky, psychotic, but
oh so delicate 
unconscious as we charge forward
while skirting clumsy pride
and a dumb schmuck preaching
cretin dance at old folks
bingo romancing night
every other night or so.


 whoever hates them self, is incapable of any love for anyone.

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..........
