“He was weary of himself,
of cold ideas and brain dreams.
Life a poem?
Not when you went about
forever poetizing
about your own life
instead of living it.”

brain
floating cloud
letting thoughts materialize
mostly selfish, sometimes not
dreams

again, in God’s time
Mother Earth wobbles and shakes
ages come and go
man’s feeble concept of time
what’s a million years or so

Poem:
.
can’t carry a tune
my bucket is holy
can’t jump over the moon
everything gets done slowly
only color I can mix is brown
every picture is out of focus
at my best I was a not funny clown
my attempts at writing were atrocious
at school I struggled to be average
mumbling, stumbling, lived a boring life
at work they all used me as leverage
took three tries to get a good wife
can’t figure out rhyme or reason
my best guess is usually wrong
can’t decide on a favorite season
never, ever could I name that song
so I can’t, no reason to be blue
because what I can, is to love you

“I am, by calling,
a dealer in words;
and words are,
of course,
the most powerful drug
used by mankind.”

drug
chemical influence
brain neurons interrupted
abnormal escape from reality

reading the fake news
politics
opinions galore

Poem:
.
April showers brings May pollen
the early worm evades the robin
nature both gives and takes away
man gifted by a beautiful bouquet
can we ruin it all with plastic pollution
are there consequences for fooling evolution
when man has expired there will be no more time
there will be no winners to punish the crime
hopefully we’ll find where the soul resides
nature will overcome those pesticides
the philosophers will discover what it is
everyone will know all of the answers to all of the quizzes
chortle, love, do the next right thing
pray, prepare to welcome another spring
