The sunshine has done more to cure
my Neanderthal isms than all the
books in the Matrix...

I may not be able to make sense of
a Jungian split-infinitive but I
know what a pebble feels like in my hand...

The grass stains are always greener in
the reckoning of the sun...

Pigeons of Avalon take wing and poop
poop poop these slaves into submission...

Squirrels of Lothlorien gather ye corns
and seed before the pregnancy of fall...

Walking walking walking...

Smiling smiling smiling...

Feeling feeling feeling...

Being being being...

------

the reckoning of the sun...
and the pregnancy of fall...

now I’m depressed… wish I’d written that… I suck today… and not even in a good way either… and there’s no sun here either… London is Narnia: always winter and never Christmas… the only light I’m likely to get is the light I choose to drink: alcoholism as photosynthesis… great, hu…?

sorry, my cyclopean friend… it’s the drunk-commenting hour on channel Shannon again… loved this, love you, you tin-pot Buddha of the dispossessed you… I’m going ommmmmmmmmmm now

Sexy Sun

Vitamin D promotes bone formation
The girls wear short skirts to get as much as they can
I cover my arms to prevent sunburn
No grass on my ass

Terence on Vitamin D
I like how being divests itself from, and invests itself into, everything preceding it. Vertical transcendence (not Jungian, either...).

This is the kind of poem that is deep as a puddle on top of a lake.

And only you can write them.

Thank you!

Simplicity!!
I love this poem. It brings us back to the realization that the forces of nature are more simple, basic and real than any crazy thing you might hear from a psychiatrist.

"I may not be able to make sense of
a Jungian split-infinitive but I
know what a pebble feels like in my hand..."

This is the most tangible thing I've heard all year. This to me defines the basic logic of reality. The reality that common sense and nature defines for us, not the one medical professionals do. (Can u tell I'm havin some issues right now? LOL)

Great piece of work. I love it. Even the pooping of the pigeons will send folks running....LOL. I've been there before. You say so much with such simplicity.....I enjoy your style of writing.

Trying to catch up to everything I missed these last few weeks.

This poem reads like it was written in response to someone saying something that bothered you. Not big on Jungian split infinitives meself but I do enjoy a good Freudian slip here and there.

LIked the grass stains line.

Hope you're feeling better.
