STILL WE WAIT

https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/s


one never knows

2 never knows

3 never knows

yesterday never knows

today never knows
Tomorrow Never Knows

still we wait

in rapt anticipation
for Arecibo to pick up a clue
something to bring us together
and show we are more than the
savage apes in a Kubrick odyssey

best thing for this roiling ball in space

would be to confront
a common enemy

War of the Worlds

now playing
right outside your kitchen window
your petty partisan bickering
wouldn't matter much then

Nancy and Mitch

Rush (to judgement)
Sister Susie
Phil and Don
and on and on

but they want no part of us

and our cancerous encroachment
upon all that is sacred

would you?


somewhere The Creator

emits a big booming laugh

he knows that he's just getting started 


stay tuned

LOVE POEM



Always hated fukken Valentine's Day
cuz you had to git all dressed up 
and show up wit a box of chocolates
under youse arm and 
take her out to dinner
and da whole bit
when what you really wanted to do 
was stay home and watch da basketball game 
in your skivvies
and to make matters worse
a couple weeks later
she ain't even wit you no mo!!!
what kinda deal is dat?

think I got out just in time man
what wit dis war between da sexes
dat's raging today
HEY
I ain't gonna study war no more
so why would I need 
some old battle-axe around???

now I be watchin' da game
and poppin' dem yummy chocolates
into my own face
finally catchin' on
finally wakin' up
to da realization 
at long long last
just how sweet life can be... 

when I'm in love wit me
