BAD STOIC
BAD STOIC
I tried to read the text
& it was like pulling teeth_
reason bored me to the tears
expected to be held back^
I longed to find simplicity
& joy simultaneously
but the words
contradicted both^
& so I* decided that
Marcus Aurelius
is not for me_ too much guilt
in the {NOT} reading^
I make a fair minimalist_
but I* a bad stoic
& have returned
to more important reading_
the poetry of Jim Carroll^

you* live & you* die //
why do you question?
everything* going as planned_
your destiny is pre-ordained_
{FREEWILL}
all you can do_
is your best in the mean-time^
Why do you worry?

even things unexpected
& shitty^

nor are you_

everything* as it should be //

SMASHED ON GLASS
SMASHED ON GLASS
the auto-mobile_
gave humans feet on wheels_
without conscience
or feeling for the moth_
the bee_ & the dragonfly^
as mr & mrs Johnson drive
to their summer beach house_
the bug* guts are sss-smashed
on glass^
clearly_
the Johnsons are guilty
of murder_ as they enjoy
their f_cking Bloody Marys^

ESSENCE OF
ESSENCE OF
G_d?
is that what you think you are?
Darwin made up some
skeptical theory *bout

& we are simply
the essence of atomic
energy_
& always on the brink
of destructive collapse?

I walk these city streets
seeking truth^

to truth lies among
the butts_ & within
the dirty sidewalk cracks^

THE LUCKY ONES
THE LUCKY ONES
we drank until closing time
& puked on the floor_
then smoked at dawn before
sleeping a few hours
& starting all over again^
somehow_ we escaped
early death & we* still
breathing in our 60s_
while friends wound up dead^
I often wonder_
which of us
are/were the lucky ones?
