poemetry

late october:
cool, but a bike ride
is still enjoyable.
in a week or two
there’ll be rain….

i start my days
at the wrong end,
mornings
when i am tired
and have no idea….

so there i was,
bothering no one,
living my day quietly,
when all of a sudden,
and for no good reason….

life invites us
to go crazy,
to lose our minds
over things
small and large….

are you one of those people
who gets an idea for something
and then goes and does that something?
do you realize how fucking lucky you are
to be one of those people?

what if we humans
are the most miserable lifeforms
in the universe?
given the size and amount
of everything….

if you take
the brain science
seriously
, and i do,
than you cannot….

the things i wish for
are not huge,
but they might as well be.
the way of this world
is to punish those….

put me on the side of
those who do not think
that getting old
is the most glorious thing
life does for us.

so of course
on the day
when i brag
a ha ha!
i am doing….

i am too close
to myself to see
the impact
of day by day.

it’s not mandatory
that i be
irritated, angry, or
upset all the damn time.
no one requires….

power & wealth
(and really,
aren’t they
two sides of
the same tarnished….

my world
without god
is a place
in which
i may be able….

another day.
i’m held prisoner
in dank cells
of what was
and what wasn’t.
