Quote from: Rick Stansberger on September 27, 2011, 10:19:47 AM

Death drives a locomotive
but slowly, giving me time
and a lot of horn.

Death runs a rolling mill,
but courteously,
giving me time to
cross the track.

Deathe sits in my office chair
reading Susan Sontag.
Don't mind me,
Death says.
You're not on the list today.

You are right, Tom. Must remember never to let reality get in the poem's way.

Never Let Reality Get in the Poem's Way

or anything else for that matter --
never let reality get in the way of anything else
what's all that brain spaghetti for, after all?

Quick Reply

Here I am
hoping for a poem
in the ten minutes
before my next class,
and I notice the title
of the box I'm typing in:
Quick Reply and
I think, hell,
it couldn't get
any quicker.

Big Round Office Clock

Chunk
chunk
chunk

Each second
walks up
and is
beheaded.

The clock is fake --
just a little battery inside,
no works to make
the defintive
chunk.

But the beheading
is real.

He woke on the beach
with a white corset and spatula
and no memory of leaving
Cincinnati.

"Apparently

one poem a day
is a burden almost
too much to bear,"
she said.

"And one that
cuts corners yet,"

she said when I
handed her this.

I like that title starting the quote, Rick. Fun, cute poem. Sets us imagining the two people, the relationship, quite vividly. Tom

There's a Dream

I don't want to talk about.
It's one of a recurrent series
I also don't want to talk about.
It's set in a scary place
and it looks like I'll never
get home.
And then there are those
people
and that damn
bulldozer
but I don't wanna talk about it.

I know that dream. It's number 42. Much scarier that the other 41.

And last nightt I had #43. A chart topper. Shook a little all day. All I can say is I killed Mother Theresa, and the bitch deserved it.
