Too Late Smart
-That Pa Dutch proverb says it ALL.
Too soon old, too late schmart!
-If ever.
-Amen.
-Let me revise that to never. Just when
you got it figured out how to hit the last
bizarre curveball, Mother Nature hits
YOU with one totally unspeakable!
-Sends me to my knees?
-You who are too proud to be beg turn
into the world’s meechiest, lowest,
prideless…
-Stop! Lower than whaleshit?
-Whaleshit is Mt Everest to you!
-So? What’s left?
-Can’t hear you. Can no longer

Red-Headed Woodpecker
Crummy aura, then
he flashes in, breaking
sound too with his
rat-tat after.
Feisty little guy!

from ourselves.Labels: admiration, awareness, mood, natural life, Nature, self

-Trapped by Idiots
and forced to listen to their “wit!”
-Such AS?
-They acted out a little play and
nearly collapsed at the brilliantly
humorous lines!
-What happened? Since here you are!
-Tidal Wave!
-You're kidding!
-Never turn your back to the Ocean!
-They DID?
-For the whole play.
-They got carried away.
-Didn’t they?

Gone
Ruppy found little trace of her.
Twisted tubes of makeup here
and there, looking like a disgusted
painter had flung them.
He deduced that Nora had left.
And probably with a character
from her office she couldn’t
shut up about.
“Mr Jibber-Jabber,” pronounced
he into false twilight, birds bending
their flight down like a hinge.
Before he could go on the net to
explore a proper group for Males
Unaware, Friend One bursts in.
“Change nothing! You’ll just meet
another dissatisfied woman. God
himself has given up this city!”
“I must do something!"
“So turn into a parody? The girls
have cornered the market.
Latest is their acquiring lips
like Ubangis! OH? It can laugh.
Heart smashed to shit and it can
still laugh!”
“Stick a fork in me, I’m done!”
“Look at that light. It has turned gold!
And what are the birds doing?”
“Gliding.”
“Bingo!”

Time and Place
-Where am I?
-Is that an existential
or geographic question?
-Geo alone.
-Crystal Lake.
-That fetid pond of muddy
bottles out there is...?
-Two cleanups a year. Participate
and receive twenty-percent off
coupons at Burger King.
-Oh mad joy!
-Uh huh? Similar to that felt
in the cars scattered round
the lovely lake as we speak.
-No need to describe that.
Except hurried.
-Life is short.
-I'm thinking...long?
-You hafta get some fun in you!
-In this time and place, must
work too hard.
-You need good woman!
-As rare as good man?
-Maybe a tie.
-Dreadful!
-Jury's out.
-Let them stay there.
They're ordering-in Italian.
-Only right decision they'll make.

-Life is a dream...
some say.
-Horseshit peddlers! Row a
different boat!
-Hey! Go easy. I launched
similar-sounding malarkey
to get through college.
-To what end re adding
to the world's wisdom?
--Not my deal! Immediate
survival was.
From what? Floods? Hurricanes?
-The shit storms Society wishes
to smash you down with. Bury you!
-Paranoid now, it seems. I doubt
Society bothers with non-entities.
-I'm entity enough to myself and
my girlfriend!
-God have mercy on her souls!

Bridge and Southey
-Millions upon Millions
of little actions every day.
Automatic! Every minute
really! The body regulates
itself! In its wisdom!
-Yeah? Well I take five pills.
-That's just it. Don't need any.
I'm losing mine one at a time.
-What for? A graceful exit. You're nuts!
-Probably.
-Maybe Nuts is natural too.
-Let’s hope!

Spirit and Truth
Many Japanese have soft-
ly spoken to trees and
rocks in The Moss-
Covered Forest. Rape
of Nanking kept from
them: understood.
In any case,
moss muffles
history for good.

Depending on Them
On this heavy day,
the gull can hardly
lift his wings, thus
wrinkling
the universe
somewhat less.
Somewhere else
along the globe
a brother or sister
beats with the untir-
ing vigor they know
is instantly required.

Nature Boy
Named before the syrupy song, I think, guy run-
ing roads around West Chester, Pennsylvania in
a sort of diaper. In his 70s by then, best guess.
Lived with sister--harking back, I, to news item when
he, as those owning all ranks & regimens, cashes in.
Elvis impersonator hereabouts lives with his mother.
Better for most to dwell with someone, regardless
of prattle from those knowing better about everything--
many of these so thoroughly alone it fulfills prescription
for dank existentialism.
